These are guidelines for using the Alban Institute Roundtable blog. I find them very appealing as guidelines for life too.

I must admit to being bowled over by the incredible welcome I received from everyone at Meaford United Church yesterday.

Rev. Judith called me to the front and we sat with the children who gave me armloads of gifts. I don't shed tears in public, but I came close at that moment. I can hardly wait for Tuesday when I have my first office day and a meeting. Words are nowhere enough to describe my gratitude for being welcomed into such a wonderful family. This feels like a wonderful start to my journey.

God is good and I am one lucky person. Thanks everyone!
