Today I received a really nice letter from the First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood, MO. This letter wasn't asking me to consider anything before the Assembly. It wasn't asking for my support of a particular issue. It had NO AGENDA, which in the PCUSA world these days is refreshing.
The letter indicated that the Session of the First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood, MO would be praying daily for me as a Commissioner to the General Assembly and reiterated the Presbyterian understanding that God alone is Lord of the conscience.
The letter also let me know who the Commissioners from Giddings Lovejoy Presbytery would be and that was fun to see one of my seminary classmates on that list.
I am expecting a lot of GA Related Mail in the next few weeks asking for my support on x,y, or z issue. I'll be listing these items on the list on this blog so who ever reads this blog can see how much mail Commissioners get. I am grateful to know that God alone is the Lord of the conscience and I am thankful that Session of First Presbyterian in Kirkwood is praying for me and all the other Commissioners. We will need those prayers. I also want to thank my brothers and sisters on the other side of the state for making my day today with their kind letter.
