May has been a very busy month. VOAD meetings and conferences, synod assemblies, Congregational Preparedness presentations, getting ready for hurricane season, and on top of that – a wedding.
Hurricane season is officially here, with the second named Atlantic storm bringing much needed rain to Florida and Georgia. The arrival of hurricane season has also boosted our activities. More presentations and related activity in May than in other months, plus more travel, has kept us away from home many nights. June looks to be just as busy, except for the wedding.
About the wedding – our son was married in May, which also took a few days out of our schedule. The wedding was outdoors, and was wonderful. I’ll get a picture posted later.
We are currently in Atlanta at the Southeastern Synod Assembly (www.elca-ses.org) with our Lutheran Disaster Response display. We are here as seminary interns, as well as displaying for LDR.
In addition to the various things we are doing, here are links to a couple of articles that have been written by other people about things we are doing or are involved in.

Interview with Ruth Ann about Congregational Preparedness - http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/religion/070526/disaster.shtml
That is all for now. More presentations to schedule and miles to drive as we wind down our internship. By the end of July, we will have preached another 6 or 8 sermons, presented to another dozen or so congregations, and begun packing to move back to seminary.

Wow...great work! I really think your interview came off very well. Great info worth sharing.
Seems like the two of you are very busy, as am I. Only a couple of months to go but a lot left to do.
I am pleased with the outcome of the interview, too. Believe me, I was sweating it while I was on the phone being interviewed!
I'm really not sure which is more intimidating: being the resident theologian for a congregation based on a few short years of seminary study, or being the resident expert on congregational preparedness for disaster based on such a short time on the job!
