I have been tremendously blessed. Earlier this week I attended Covenant Keepers 09 which was held in Belleville. It was the annual gathering of the clergy of the Illinois Great Rivers Conference: a time set aside for spiritual renewal with collogues; to drink again from the well containing the Living Water. I was able to make connections with pastors that I have not seen for several years and I was blessed. I was able to visit with Mike Rayson, whom I count as a friend, and I was blessed. Bishop Palmer preached three sessions to the clergy and I was stirred as I was blessed! My remarks on the evaluation sheet were that this was the best CK I have attended so far…and I have managed to attend every one. Then, just when you might think “it can’t get any better than this,” I was blessed again as I was able to return home to a family and church who at least claimed they missed me! What a tremendous blessing…to be missed…to realize that someone values your presence and desires your interaction. That doesn’t mean we always agree (just ask Jill or any one of the girls) but it does mean that I count myself more whole when you are part of my life. Wow! I may not be many things…but I am truly blessed and it is great to be back home!
