Normally, Saturday morning is the time for me to drive down to Depot Park, just south of downtown Gainesville, to participate in their weekly free Parkrun 5K. Yesterday evening, though...following the viewing of the movie Conclave...I felt a twinge of slight pain in my leg behind the knee. Not wanting to take a chance on aggravating a possible injury, I decided to skip the event. No problem...I slept in and got some extra needed sleep: I can take it easier on the exercise and see how it goes. Later today, Melissa and I went to the nearby United Methodist Church to attend a conference headed by Wesleyan scholar Paul Chilcote. It was well-done and I felt a spirit of love and camaraderie there. I did notice, though, a personal aversion to interacting directly with others. It wasn't a matter of disliking anyone for any reason, but rather a physical reaction I experienced, as if I were somehow allergic to them. Oh, one thing that kind of rubbed me wrong was Chilcote claiming at the end that he was an introvert...that dude apparently hasn't a clue about what the word really means. Still, his message was welcome although I felt he invested too much time and emphasis on the official denomination and its founders. Then again, I guess that contributed to how he got to rise like he did in stature within the organization. That's fine: he's a good guy and I wish him well...
