A big day in the life of the church we belong to. To-day, a lady preached as sole nominee - when our previous minister retired, a nominating committee was appointed, whose purpose was to choose someone whom they would nominate as the candidate to replace him - and this person would take a service, at the close of which we would vote, as we did, whether or not she would be our new minister. And, happily, the vote went overwhelmingly in her favour.
And then we signed the call (that is, I, and my 8 year old son signed the call) - a document which she will get to keep.
And this afternoon my daughter was riding her bike without stabilisers, and without a helping hand for much of the time. I was a bit shaken when my son lost control of his bike, for no apparent reason.
