As frustrating as it can be sometimes, and as much as Presbytery is really not my favorite place to be, I do find that I enjoy surrounding myself with some of these folks from the Presbytery. Most of the stuff that I enjoy most at Presbytery happens in bars and restaurants on dinner breaks and after the evening business has ended. And this past weekend was confirmation of that again. I had some great conversations with new and old friends, and got to reflect on ministry and life with some really good people.
