I do still have a brain, after all

Now, on first blush, one would think that spending many hours poring over nit-picky details of a church conference constitution sounds like an exercise of the utmost boredom. Ahh, but when it is done in the company of a group of people who have many differing ideas of just what changes need to be made and with precisely what wording and what changes might actually be accepted by the constituency at large...and yet are very respectful of one another, then it becomes an fascinating experience...particularly enjoyable by one who'd begun to be convinced that, whatever brain used to lodge under that thinning and graying hair has long since taken itself on a long and extended vacation...
