I'm leaving early this morning to attend Annual Conference. I attended my first Annual Conference in 1960. I missed last year for the first time. You don't HAVE to go after you've retired. Last year I had to choose between Conference and a family reunion of my wife's family.
I will not attend the whole thing. I'm retired! I look forward to seeing old friends -- and most of my friends are old. I will share a meal with the other retirees and renew our memories.
I will also watch as a young man is "commissioned." He was a youth at Cameron when I was pastor there. I have had the priviledge of being his mentor for the past few years. It's going to be a real thrill to watch on Saturday as he moves into the next step in his ministry.
Don't look for a new entry until Sunday. At that time, I'm sure I will have some new poetry to share with you.

So did you leave early????
I loved the Ordination Service, but I came back early this morning
6 a.m. left Springfield so would beat the traffic at the Lake of Ozarks.
Following the Commissioning service, I went to the Retirees luncheon and then started home. I got to PV by 5:30 on Saturday evening. I got the bulletin done and thought about a few things for the sermon.
Sermon actually fell in place as I drove to the church this morning and I felt like it was a good sermon.
