It was lovely to hear Bishop Kanouse's words of affirmation for newly re-elected Vice President Stephanie Varnum. In a way his strong appreciation for Stephanie applied to all those helpful volunteers and hard-working staff whose efforts make the mission of ELCA/NT-NL function smoothly.
A good team that works well together can be a real joy, and how much more delightful when that work is in service to our most gracious God.
So thanks - to the facilitators who are distributing materials and picking up ballots, to the video support team, to those who manage the nomination process, to those who keep good relations with the hotel and keep the coffee coming, to those who handle a million details that no one will ever see. A wise man (my boss) used to say, "If we're doing our job right, no one notices."
But let's notice and say, "Thank you! Gracias! And God bless us everyone."
When you find all thing positive, you will find God- despite the hardships that life can provide.
