When we arrived at Menno (Menno Mennonite Church) this morning, Pastor Matthew took me aside and said he'd give me a few minutes before church to think about it, but he wanted to offer a blessing for me this morning. A few weeks ago in Pittsburgh, I had been re-elected to a second four-year term as a member of Mennonite Church USA's Executive Board. Pastor Matthew asked me to reflect for a few minutes on what it was like to be a member of the Board to the congregation and then offered a blessing and prayer for my continued service. Nice!
After church, we headed for Moses Lake followed by our friends, Colleen and Dennis. We went to Michael's By The Lake and sat out on their patio and had a delicious lunch. We hadn't seen the two of them since we had left for the south last fall. In the meantime, Dennis had had a stroke AND they had traveled to Europe to spend time with their family. So, we had lots to talk about! With the help of some speech therapy, thankfully, Dennis has been recovering quite well. It was a beautiful afternoon to sit outside and visit. The patio overlooks Moses Lake and we watched the boat traffic as we ate.
