Friday

While still at home, posted the teaching video I’ve been working on to the diocesan website, and edited a blog post I wrote yesterday evening and launched it into cyberspace.
Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
Processed a few emails.
Produced a rough draft of a homily for the feast of the Presentation, to be delivered February 2 at Holy Communion, Charleston, SC.

Processed some more emails.
Having perceived a need for me, as the one who sits at the top of the pyramid, to be more personally conversant regarding diocesan finances, I spent a good bit of time looking at a recent Balance Sheet, asking some questions, and making some notes. Yes, we are blessed to have competent and dedicated people who take care of these details, and I don’t need to learn to do their jobs. But it behooves me to be more knowledgeable than I have up to this point been.
Friday prayer–lectio divina on the part of Isaiah 45 appointed for Morning Prayer on tomorrow’s feast day, the Conversion of St Paul.
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
