unanimous!

It is done.

My second ordination interview was lively and challenging...and they approved me for ordination by North Shore Baptist Church.

So, um, yeah.

Tah dah!

Come to North Shore on November 7, 2004. I'll post an invitation with the time and everything later (4:00?). But there you have it. Trish is to be a pastor's wife!

Congratulations, brother! I'm betting on ten years max before I can call you The Very Reverend Tripp Hudgins, Dean of VTS.

Hip, hip, hooray!

Sounds smoother than GOEs, COMs, and a Standing Committee — and a good thing, too.

For some reason, my congratulations from yesterday failed to post.

No matter, though; I'm still congratulating you today! :-)

Hey there, doc.

I will be Lord of the Universe, Grand High Baptist Poobah when I am ordained November 7th. Pencil in the date!

Yes, congrats. Two great gifts, marriage and ordination, so close to each other.
