Conversion of St Paul

Began the day with a brisk treadmill workout.
Task planning at home, MP in the cathedral.
Got to work signing and sealing the certificate for tonight’s ordination. Took four passes with the hot wax, and one was plenty good enough.
Read and responded to an email from the Bishop of Tabora.
Devoted more time to an ongoing bit of administrivia that seems to be getting more complex the harder we try to resolve it.
Spent about 90 minutes with a commentary on Mark’s gospel, focusing on the Passion narrative, all in service of developing a homily for Palm Sunday.
Home for lunch on the late side. Leftovers.
Registered online for a Communion Partners meeting late next month.
Processed a short stack of late-arriving email.
Out the door at 3:00 for points east.
Met at St John’s, Decatur with Fr Mike Newago. Routine check-in regarding his work as Mission Strategy Developer.
Presided over a rehearsal, then the liturgy itself. Got Christine Gregory duly ordained to the diaconate, a truly joyful occasion.
Home around 9:45.
