I think I have seen it all now!
I got this in the mail yesterday. I saw it in my box and to be honest, I looked
at it quickly and tossed it aside --- I mean, it is from the Annual Conference
so I knew it couldn't be too important.
Then I looked at it again, and this time I broke out into
laughter.
Thursday, the Indiana Conference of the United Methodist
Church will meet for our Annual Conference in Indianapolis. This is our first venture into a big
city. Back in the day when we were just
the North Indiana Conference (the north half of the state) we always meet on
the campus of Purdue University. Then a
few years ago we united (merged is a forbidden word) with the South Indiana
Conference and became The Indiana Conference.
(Did you get all that . . .) For
the past three years we have meet at Ball State University, but Thursday we hit
the big time when we meet at the new Indiana Convention Center in downtown
Indianapolis.
There must be some real concern about the mental capacity of
the delegates to send out this postcard.
If I am not capable of remembering where I parked, how am I capable of
being in leadership in my church? And
how in the world will I remember where I put this stinking card?
