Annual Conference Post Traumatic Stress


Whew!!! Annual Conference is finally over! (Click here to read all about it.) We finished all our business and balloting with 30 minutes to spare ! And now all that is left besides compiling minutes and reports, bundling ballots, filling out forms, contacting the General Agencies and such is the stress.

Yesterday at the 8:30 service, after we had processed in and sat down, Charles found a pencil and asked me if I wanted to take another ballot. Then in the New Room, someone walked toward Matt with a long strip of stickers and he panicked because he thought it was a ballot. As for me, I'm so glad I can fix my hair and scratch my nose without it being displayed on two huge screens to 1000 or more people!

And I'm tired . . . so I think it is time for another nap.

Hopefully, some time this week, I'll actually be able to post a bit about our conversation with Marcus Borg in Portland.

Well, I hope you make it through all the stress. I hope you have time to relax and let down and scratch your nose or whatever you need to scratch...lol. It is embarrassing isn't it. Don't sit so close to the Bishop then you won't show up on the 2 big screens. Just kidding. He looks like he needs you up there.

Thanks for posting a comment on my blog. It was helpful.

Well Abi that was kinder than Sandy West's observation that I appeared to be whispering sweet nothings in the Bishop's ear . . .
