Friday

Up, put together, and across the alley for devotions and Morning Prayer in the cathedral by around 0730. Then to Hardee’s drive-through for breakfast.
Usual Friday extended catch-up with the Archdeacon.
Organized tasks for the day.
Scanned, categorized, and tagged accumulated hard-copy material in my physical in-box.
Dealt substantively by email with a pastoral issue. (By “substantively” I mean … something that requires careful attention and thought; it can’t just be “dashed off.”)
Dealt by email with something that I would say comes under the category of “pastoral/program development.”
Made some technical preparations that I hope will make next week’s Good Friday liturgy go more smoothly.
Grabbed lunch at Taco Gringo. Brought it back to the office to eat.
Wandered over to the cathedral parlor to spend some time with Mrs Hultstrand and her son, and other well-wishers who came by.
Presided and preached at the Eucharist, and then the committal for the Ninth Bishop of Springfield, Donald Maynard Hultstrand. Hung out at the post-liturgical reception next door at the Inn at 835.
Dealt by email with an impending pastoral-liturgical matter.
Met with an individual who is at the front end of the discernment process toward potential ordination to the priesthood.
Evening Prayer in the office.
