Getting Started

As promised, I'm writing a blog about General Convention (GC) 2012. I know what you are thinking, calm down, it's more than a year away. But already I'm leaning some things. I've been told to start practicing to sleep no more than four hours a night and that I'm going to need chocolate covered espresso beans to get through the days at GC. Immediately after being elected at the 216th Annual Council of the Diocese of Virginia on January 21, 2011, some of the people congratulating me also looked at me like, "you really want to do this, good luck." Now it's not that these people are concerned about the issues that I might face at GC but more that I won't be sleeping. I think there may need to be a GC training program of some sort...to deal with sleep deprivation. :)

Where is God in this so far, for me? I have a lot a joy about being part of this journey. I feel honored to be able to represent my diocese.
