Proud Dad Requests Feedback

Yesterday I spent the day with my daughter, Eve.

She brought laundry over from her apartment to do in our washer and dryer. Her laundry had piled up because she’s been heavily involved in planning and coordinating a staff development day for 500+ librarians.

It all came to a head Wednesday, and Eve is taking a few days off to recuperate.

I’m so proud of her. She used her organizational skills to the maximum for this professional event.

Among the things she did was recruit 24 organizations to set up booths with displays ranging from art museums and banking to tai chi and computer scanners.

She arranged shuttle transportation for the handicapped and a police escort for attendees in a change of venues, plus a catered luncheon, door prizes, 10,000 stars, name badges, special speakers and presenters, and a pep talk by the mayor. Plus a dump truck and horses … no, wait, those last two were for another event she’s also involved with.

Here is a quite, shy girl marshaling forces like General Eisenhower at the Normandy Invasion.

I’m impressed.

Anyhow, her own laundry got neglected in the swirl of activity and I’m glad we could help her out in this minor (if you can call five loads minor) behind the scenes need.

After supper, as usual we had a short devotional time. Ginny read a Bible passage but when it came time to pray, neither she nor I nor Eve had even a thought.

We just didn’t have a heart to pray so Ginny read a prayer for us.

Sometimes the best we can do is pray, “Lord, I’m so weary. Help, please”.

Incidentally, on Friday, April 21^st, Eve requested some feedback on her blog about a problem that troubles her. I’m too close to it to be of any use. Please take a look at her blog and offer your feedback. It will be appreciated. Eve needs more wisdom than I can give.
