It almost seems surreal. We are almost caught up with the daily calendar of resolutions. At this time last year we were still days behind. It would become clear that we would not be able to finish by the close of the Convention. Many things were left undone. But it looks like it might be different this time.
You have read notes from other deputies about the budget. Many have lost their jobs. I was struck however that in spite of the cut backs the church went bold to take care of the poor.
Not only did we restore .7% to help with global poverty, but also .7% to help with domestic poverty. Tend to the poor IS was Jesus told us to do. The church makes a bold statement of faith in this action.
I was given the opportunity to address the Convention the other evening. If you use this link you will be able to see a piece of that presentation.
(the video is of me on the big screen…. you’ll get the idea)
We are all thankful for your prayers.
Blessings!
