In the mix of amendments to amendments and all sorts of other wrangling over this and that as the Social Statement on Human Sexuality is being discussed, a tornado touched down right outside of the convention center (yes...a tornado). Everyone inside is fine...a little damage to the center and Central Lutheran Church across the street had damage to its steeple and the outside tents in which they have been serving breakfast and holding other outside activities.
Now...if I was someone who tried to teach that God brought along the storm because of what we were discussing inside the convention center I'm sure I would be lobbied by both sides that it was because of what the other group was trying to do. Alas, a storm is a storm...that is all.
It seems to me that as the Assembly works through this document it is hard to understand how we will get to an end by the conclusion of this week. The next two days will be packed and they will be filled with historic action. Pray for the whole church.
