Well, had a pretty good day yesterday. Got a lot accomplished in getting ready for Ingathering. For those of you who don't know what the Ingathering is, it's a missions celebration of the Iowa United Methodist Church. It's a laity driven event, with presentations from various mission fields as well as an opportunity for the individual churches and their members to give to missions. The people give money for various projects and a variety of kits are put together and brought to the Ingathering. There's worship and a quilt and woodcraft auction. Last year the five sites took in almost one million dollars in money and kits. It's this Saturday, November 6th, from 9 to 3. Well worth going to.
Had a good time with the kids I'm helping to learn to read. There was real improvement from the previous time I was there. That is encouraging and keeps me going.
Had a WON (Worship Outreach Nurture) meeting last night. Some things were accomplished but one person is trying to control the who shebang and not letting the committee chairs do their thing. Oh well. I'll do what I can within the limits I'm allowed.
Too bad the Giants won the Series. I was rooting for the Rangers. The Rangers aren't one of my teams, but I had to root for somebody.
Thank God it's election day! I can hardly wait for the commercials to end. We'll go and vote later today.
