Gentle Beginning

Today the planners and board member types are on campus. It gives you a little tingle of excitement. Things are beginning to happen. You see a handful of wanderers headed toward the cultural life center or the dining hall or the athletic center. Yes, this event that we have been hearing about for so long is actually going to happen.

We ease into it like a swimmer eases into the coldness of the water, holding our breath and hoping everything is in place. We finally see a program book - pages and pages of events to unfold. Beneath the calm surface, much is happening. I pray for the people who have been planning and preparing, that they will have a peace and that all the details have been thought of and planned for.

Tomorrow, it will erupt. Hang on to your hats. I think we are about to have lift off.
