29 July 1998 - Voting on "Final" Texts

We are in meetings most of the day every day voting on texts presented by the different commissions of the chapter. The truly final form of the documents won't be finished until after the chapter, but the changes will only be grammatical. These meetings always take longer than expected given our democratic process and penchant for consensus. Many texts are waiting to be gone through, but the capitulars are not rushing the first texts. One great thing is that the weather has cooled off after yesterday's rain, and today was downright spectacular.

After a few days of silence on the net, I am glad to say that we are back online again. The computer I was using to build the site had a fatal motherboard fault (technical jargon for "really dead") and is now awaiting the resurrection (its personal one, hopefully not waiting for the General Resurrection). I have borrowed another computer and configured it to get back online, and now have put up most of the remaining items in the Public Addresses (except the homilies which may never come). Unfortunately, I won't be able to play with images quite as well, but will try to still let you know what it is like here.

p.s. Thank you for the prayers and support!
