Following a particularly long day involving unscheduled visitors, members needing just a little help and several “new challenges,” I came home to seek a little peace and quiet. Of course the phone rang soon after I arrived home and after thinking for just a moment I decided to go ahead and answer the call. To my delight it was a young adult member of the Stewardship Development Steering Committee calling to update me about the exciting news from their committee. After saying good by and waiting a moment I took a deep breath and smiled, chuckled, then laughed out loud about a matter which, for many years and in most church situations, had not at all been exciting much less fun.
