Between the hours of 4 and 6am I wrote the majority of my 5-7 page Pastoral Helping Skills paper. I have not profed it and not sure if I will… I am tired, even though I have had 4 1/2 hours of sleep.
I am sad… A year ago I was elected to the Board of Directors for the Lewis River Camp Ground. A Place that is very special to me, and means a lot to me. I was at the first meeting of the board under the new by-laws, and since that time I have been unable to attended another meeting. I missed one due to the fact all our cars were in operable and I did not realize the time of the meeting until it was to late to catch a ride, the next two I missed as I was in Ohio, and now I will miss this final one of the year as I am in Seattle and have no way to get to the Southridge congregation on the 7th. I wish I could be more active, but it seems I am unable to, and I am afraid for Salem, for I do not know who will be willing to take my place on the board, that has a love for the grounds. There are two people I can think of, one I know has been taking a break from it and not sure if he would be willing to come back yet, the other is a board member for another congregation.
