Vestry Graduate

Image
I am no longer part of the Vestry at Christ Church Norcross. I served my full term as the Buildings and Grounds liaison. It was three years. There were a lot of items to deal with over the years. But the effort wasn't the work. It was the responsibility and knowing that I wasn't doing enough. I think most people get that feeling with obligations. Maybe not. I am sure the time and responsibility will be quickly reallocated. When I signed on I figured I would learn something. Now I am thinking about what I learned along with the hows and whys. I think my Grandfather would have approved. He is mentioned on page 12 in the folowing time capsule. https://digitalarchives.episcopalarchives.org/the_witness/pdf/1941_Watermarked/Witness_19410515.pdf His noteworthy translation: Kant
"You must master your time rather than becoming a slave to the constant flow of events and demands on your time. And you must organize your life to achieve balance, harmony, and inner peace." -- Brian Tracy "Whenever God wants to send you a gift he wraps it up in a problem. The bigger the problem, the bigger the gift”. --Norman Vincent Peale

I was in Fargo, North Dakota yesterday. I got a bit of the VIP treatment and had a photo-op air-seeding with one of the largest and most powerful tractors on earth. The articulated machine drives just like my old Holder Tractor. However, the clutch and gearshift are quite a bit easier to use on the Challenger.
