honour where it's due

Two days down, one to go, at the Very Important Conference.

Thought I'd pause a moment to give honour where it's due. Our denominational General Superintendent (i.e. The Big Cheeze) resigned after 12 years in office. Prior to that, he was our District Superintendent. His name is Bill Morrow. We love him. He's moving on to become President of Master's College & Seminary, which is a very good thing, in my humble opinion.

Bill is AWESOME. He's in charge of a lot of things, but he genuinely cares about people, and he's just a regular guy, with a seemingly unlimited number of creative, brilliant ideas that float through his head every day. Incredibly smart AND relational - a rare combination. He has brought big changes in his 12 years, and they have been good changes. I've admired him greatly, both from a distance, and the times when I've been up close.

We just voted in a new guy today - he'll have some seriously big shoes to fill!
