I literally woke up this morning with a bang! There was a horrendous thunderstorm right overhead. The lightening was so bright it lit up my room through the gaps in the drapes. It must have kicked the power off for a bit as the alarm clock was blinking. By the time I woke up enough to unplug my computer, Kindle and iPhone that were all being charged, and went into the bathroom, the lights were on again.
We had a busy morning of meetings -- trying to finish up everthing on a packed agenda. Moderator Ed finally declared that the rest of the agenda had an asterisk (African American churchs evidently often add an asterisk on their agendas. At the bottom of the page, the asterisk proclaims that "the agenda is subject to change by the Holy Spirit.") and he was cancelling the rest and going directly to Executive Session (always the last agenda item in case there is need for one...). Fortunately the Executive Session was short and quick and we were able to go to lunch only a half hour late.
Everyone was anxious to head for the airport and be home for what was left of the weekend. But it was not to be! Those of us on later flights came to the airport a bit later and found the early arrivals waiting around hoping to rebook eastbound cancelled flights. My flight doesn't leave until 7:30 and is heading west, so I am in hopes it will be okay. This morning's thunderstorm must have been pretty widespread and caused lots of flight delays.
