My Metaphor for the September GAC Meeting

I checked my email this evening and there was a message reminding me to make my arrangements for the September General Assembly Council meeting. This will be the first ever joint meeting with GAC and Presbytery Executives. Furthermore, we are going to be living into a reconfigured GAC structure with a new moderator, with a new Executive Director and with staff who are living into a whole new staffing structure.

As I reflected on this upcoming meeting I was trying to find a metaphor that would aptly capture how I see my duties. I know the biblical imagery would be that of shepherding the church. However, shepherding doesn't quite get it for me. Actually, I think another kind of herding might be more appropriate. The EDS commercial below pretty much sums it up.

Oh Yeah! I'm living a dream!

I love this commercial- it's so much more imaginative than most of what's on TV.

I'm sorry it's so frustrating. It's frustrating to me too- good opportunity to channel that into prayer, so I shall.

Thanks Dana. Prayer is ALWAYS welcomed!

This is even funnier than when you described it to me Mike. I cracked up when the guy sneezes on the horse. What a great commercial.
