And are we yet alive?

WWP is on the road this week, so the likelihood of more posts seems extremely remote.

"Remote," in fact, would be the operative word for the coming week. Care to guess where in the world Worldwide Pablo is?

Here's a clue: John Wesley would feel at home here, for more reasons than one.

I believe that where ever WWP goes, John Wesley would feel at home. Well, almost anywhere.

Savannah, Georgia, perhaps?

Remote, Oregon! (just hazarding a wild guess, since there is such a place :P)

[Worldwide Pablo]

Not close, not yet. Here's another clue: Today, WWP met up with a long-lost friend, Elaine, from Methodist Youth Fellowship days, circa 1970. Turns out, she's speaking tomorrow.

PS: We'd hoped to post this as a new post tonight, but the inn's wi-fi is decidedly spotty. [Not like that ever happens in motels ... or municipalities, eh.]

...And the answer is: Nampa, Idaho, site of the 38th annual gathering of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.

Nazarenes are descended from the Wesley tradition, and so while Methodists make a major claim on the brothers John and Charles, so do our our friends from the Nazarene tradition. The conference was held, appropriately enough, on the campus of Northwest Nazarene University at Nampa.

The reference to "Elaine" would be the Rev. Elaine Stanovsky, the conference's "keynote" speaker and longtime acquaintance and friend of WWP. Believe it or not, we two shared time together in Methodist Youth Fellowship groups at Bellevue First United Methodist Church ... in the 1960s!

We had quite a reunion.
