Well it's that time again . . . the two weeks when United Methodists hold their breath to see what sort of legislation will arise out of some hotel room at 2 a.m. The General Conference is upon us, meaning that some 3,000 of our brothers and sisters will get too little sleep, rear ends that become attached to chairs, and more calories from restaurant food than any human should be forced to endure. It is the time when we come together to re-write the Book of Discipline, and in spite of all our faults and problems, we still often actually succeed in hearing God speak.

Let us be in prayer for our leaders as they struggle to do God's will for our Church and for it's future. Let us pray for unity and for the out pouring of the Holy Spirit on us and all out churches.

Peace,
Rev. Richard
