Jon’s Installation

For those of you who lifted up high holy hands in prayer that the snow would wait until AFTER the installation, thank you muchly. We had no problems getting to either church and both services went well. The hymns were familiar, so I was being very un-Lutheran and singing audibly. (I was sitting next to one of my confirmands at one service and she was worshipping much the same way. God bless former churches where people love to sing!) There was a potluck after the second church service and some people from the first church came over to eat with us. I chose to sit with the president of the call committee, who decided to ask me why I wasn’t sitting with Jon and the assistant to the bishop. I explained that I had decided that we were going to spread out and besides, I could be anti-social if I wasn’t sitting with Jon. I think I shocked him — that warm, bubbly, little Jen likes to be anti-social. I’m guessing that he doesn’t see me as an introvert?
