"At every point in the story, they could have said NO.

We also, very often, have the privilege and power to say “no.” And no is not a bad word, not even to God.

The truth from this text given to us this day for the week in which we celebrate the election of our Chief Elder is that not only could *he* have said 'no' to the challenge to lead us, but that we too could have said “no” to the challenge announced to us that fateful day in November."
