Off to a good start

The opening worship for UMAC this year was at the Upper Room Chapel, in the General Board of Discipleship Building in Nashville. The music was amazing! The preaching, very nice. Bishop Sally Dyck (Minnesota) brought the keynote at lunch, noting that the author of the Gospel of Mark must be the Patron Saint of Journalists, since he invented a new form of communication: the gospel. She also talked about how "immediate" everything was/is for Mark...he obviously must have been on a deadline.

We're on a break right now, and a group of us from the Southeastern Jurisdiction will be getting together for dinner tonight. It's also the highlight of UMAC...the chance to network and fellowship with others doing the same ministry as I am.

Blogging from UMAC

At the moment, I'm sitting in the Tampa Airport (which is freezing inside right now--someone needs to turn down the AC!), waiting for my flight to Nashville for the annual United Methodist Association of Communicators meeting. I'll be blogging from the meeting through Friday, so that should be fun. Stay tuned.
