The music was great. The conductor would conduct the choir and then when the congregation was suppose to sing he would turn around and conduct us. It was hilarious, but I felt so much for him. You could tell he was being filled with the Spirit as he conducted--it was beautiful. : )After worship Maggie and I left the group to go to a Media Lunch I had signed up for and Maggie was hoping to get into. The speaker was Mike Farrell from M.A.S.H. He was very good; what he said was true but he was very liberal. He was obviously intelligent and I knew what he was saying was merited, but at a time when I am striving to see both sides of the issues, he made it hard to suppress my head nods of agreement.
There was time for questioning at the end and a women asked Mike what he felt about the apathy of the next generation, how when she grew up everyone rallied and now no one did that.I almost got up and left but I wanted to hear what he had to say. He started off with saying that the situation was a tad different as that generation had been facing a draft (one point to Mike), but I still couldn't believe she said that.
Yes, my generation is apathetic. But did not some of us just nominate an African American to the Democratic nomination? Don't tell me that was the "older" generation that got him there. Did we not just elect Bruce Reyes-Chow to moderator? Were we not the most adamant vote, when the commissioners had to vote again to get a majority? No we don't parade around anymore. But put it in the context that it is now. I think that's what Mike was saying.
I spent most of the lecture about to fall off my chair (but still listening, I assure you!) with drowsiness, but when she asked that question I woke up.
I now have about an hour and a half to rest before the next business meeting and here I am, serving you with my blog. Your welcome. I'm sleepy.
