Leaving Hobart

Our ride to the airport leaves the hotel at 6:40 AM tomorrow (Monday) and then we fly with JetStar to Sydney. This morning we went to a near by Uniting Church (Presbyterian) where the retired Scottish interim pastor was having his last Sunday. I heard him use a phrase I will keep; The "Harmony of God" rather than the more traditional will of God or kingdom of God. He had also started the practice of having cummunicants taking the elements home that day for others who could not attend. They received those elements as part of the communion time. The persons who were taking the elements were named as well as who they they being taken to. I have a copy of his home use ritual. At the church social time I also spoke with a Uni professor who had worked with a prof from Bemidji and yesterday we met a hotel staff person who is from Alexandria MN.
Beth has enjoyed the Literacy Conf. here.
Our time goes well, my beard is filling in nicely..but quite gray!
Thanks for reading the ramble
