Ordination


I went to Theresa's Deacon Ordination ceremony. I'm so glad I went. I forget how much I love going out onto the open road with excitement in my heart at what will be there when I arrive. As I was walking into the church Theresa was walking towards me. What a sign hey, I gave her the Dilly Bag right there and then because I knew I might not get the change after the service.
Theresa mentioned to me while I was putting the bag on her right arm about a priest bag so I looked it up on the net and there in Exodus 28.1 - 28.43 is a description of the bag. Not unlike the one I made. She knows her scriptures!
Even though I couldn't see much of the action in the church, I certainly felt it and cried and laughed and shivered and had a hot flush. I was calling it the four seasons. Did I say before that this woman ROCKS????

Gloria, a widow of a previous Bishop, and I were introduced by Theresa. Gloria is a real handful, encouraging me to stand up and take photos and she was climbing over walls and being really kind and funny for me.

I think they are positioning Theresa for something big - shes IS the Golden Haired girl!!!
