Unexpected Package

I'm just back from two days in Des Moines. Yesterday all new clergy (or clergy in new cures) attended Fresh Start (a program promoting wellness, and associated with Credo) and today I sat through a five hour Board of Directors meeting in order to present a ten minute update on the state of campus ministry. Grr!

When I called home last night, I leared that someone at Seabury had sent us an intriguing package. It was described as relatively small, soft, and not the shape of a book. I couldn't wait to come home and open it!

A short while ago I unwrapped the mysterious gift: in the package were three solid pieces of Seabury's crumbled chapel wall! What a fabulous, unique reminder of our time in chapel. No one's ever sent me part of a wall before!
