A L-O-N-G Day of Meetings

It's almost ten PM and we've just returned to the hotel from a very long day of meetings. We've been at it since 8 AM this morning and I'm tired. Tonight was especially wonderful as we met over dinner with the church "owners" -- pastors and board members of Pacific Northwest Mennonite Conference. Many of them are former colleagues and friends , that I have worked with over the years, so I got to get -- and give -- lots of hugs.
