We had a fine time yesterday having lunch with the Pettibones at Milos' City Cafe, recommended by my Portland-resident brother Graham. We were tired enough we thought we'd better not try for the Sunday evening worship, so we left mid-afternoon to drive home. Not being a fan of freeway driving, especially congested freeway driving, I suggested we take the back road from Battle Ground through Cougar to Randle and Morton. Wonderfully scenic and all, but after we left Cougar we saw a sign saying FS road #25 (which we purposed to take) was blocked due to snow. Further up (about the high end of Swift Reservoir) we saw a second such sign, and decided they really meant it, so we turned around and went back through Woodland to I-5. As a result we got home shortly after midnight. Slept in (Mrs. H. is still sleeping, I need to go get her up.)
The Sunday morning worship service had a new (to me) text for HYMN TO JOY, I need to find it. Should have taken notes. But no credits were given.
Good sermon by Dr. Spitzer.
So ABC is modelling diversity bigtime now: we have a Puerto Rican President and a(n ethnically) Jewish General Secretary.
Evergreen was very well represented at the meeting. It was almost like being home.
