"Hello Bishop"

On Friday, I called the medical clinic to see if I could get an appointment. At the earliest I was hoping for next week and would have settled for sometime this month. I mean, how bad can a rash get in two weeks? Then, over the phone, I heard the magic words - "we can get you in right away Mr. B." Well, it didn't take me long to get across town! Severe to moderate itching can be quite motivating!

My next stop was at the Fred Meyer pharmacy. Having a few minutes to wait for the prescription to be filled, I had two options - find an isolated location in which to scratch (thumb), or, go look at electronics. Having been sternly warned at the clinic - "whatever you do, don't scratch it!" -I headed for the electronics.

While browsing I heard a lady say, "hello Bishop." She was from S. Anchorage and we had a nice visit. Bishop, while being biblical, isn't a term we have used much in our fellowship. Yet, today it is becoming increasingly more common.

While speaking with Scott T. the other day, he mentioned that we may have a new district coming into the General Council. Should this happen, I believe the term Bishop will become an official title, approved and in the governing documents of that district. Interesting.

P.S. It isn't life threatening or contagious - the itch.
