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

Angie has been working a crazy schedule at her job at a jewelry company. I decided to take a day off from work so we could do some advemture together. We decided to go visit a modern megalithic site here in Georgia. A road trip in Februray. The weather was clear, a bit chrisp, but sunny and clear. The Georgia Guidestones are about an hour and a half drive from Duluth. They sit in Elberton GA, where there are huge deposits and quarries of Blue Granite. I like to say "Gran-ITE". Since it is a mineral after all. We dont say "stalag-TIT" do we? Anyhow. It was a good day trip exploring Richard B. Russell lake and the back roads of Georgia. It struck me again how depresesed and unchanging Upstate NY is compared to Georgia. The semi truck we saw splitting at the seams was exactly that. The suspension was flexing the trailer a lot. It seemed dangerous to me. I am glad I was not pulling it waiting for it to fall apart on the highway.
