After a year of hard work on the part of so many, particularly the committee whose task it was to present nominees to the diocesan convention, that convention has been postponed until November 19 because of a big snowstorm headed our way. What a frustration to everyone concerned! I have planned for a long time to spend a month's vacation with a dear friend in Europe beginning Nov. 10, so it looks like not only will I not be the convention chaplain, I won't even vote!
I arrived in NYC around 4pm to stay at the House of the Redeemer, and had planned to have dinner with Carl Sword, OHC. Looks like dinner and a late train back tonight.
There must be an appropriate scriptural passage for this sort of thing. If it occurs to me, I'll log back in and add it. Something about the best laid plans going a'glay, or however the Scots spell it. They're all good Calvinists steeped in scripture, so even if it isn't in the Book it probably should be.

Hope your dinner with Br. Carl was enjoyable,that you were able to catch the train and arrive safely home before the storm. Also, that the monastery weathered the storm.
Sorry you will not be able to do both
the convention and your trip.
Peace,
Jeff Lowry, a/OHC
Thanks. It was a lovely dinner, the trip was fine, and there was surprisingly little snow by the end of the storm up here. Other areas had a lot more. Bi-location would be nice!
