I have Pictures!!

See! Presbyterians can party, too!! This is a picture from the Witherspoon dance which was last night. It was a good party!

Yesterday (Saturday) was mostly chock full of committee meetings. As you know my committe is dealing mostly with G 6.0106b. There was an overture to delete "b" (as it is called). It was defeated (meaning "b" would stay. It was an incredibly close vote: 30 to 28. There was another overture to delete the offensive words in the Definitive Guidance. I was actually part of writing a substitute motion for that. The substitute failed but was agreed upon as a comment. However the motion itself failed (closely again). So now I am part of a Minority Report! I also spoke several times in committee. It is very exciting to be so active!!

Our committee had to meet again shortly today, and we just finished. It was actually very emotional to leave comittee. Our leadershi team had done an amazing job of building a friendly atmosphere in comittee. We had team building excercises, heart-to-heart talks, frequent prayers and praise songs, and we sat in round tables rather than rows. It was a very close atmosphere. It actually seemed to harken to the suggestions of the Peace Unity Purity Task Force.

I didn't go to a local worship service this morning because I was so exhausted and figured the sleep would be more refreshing. I did start off with a little devotional excersice :p. Tonight we have a large worship service in conjunction with the Cumberland churches. It should be fun!

Now it is time to go have some lunch with new friends and take another walk around the exhibit hall. Hope all is well back in Central New York!

Peace of Christ,

Susan
