Friday

A “normal” weekday morning, except that I had trouble getting my mind, body, and spirit firing on all cylinders. Maybe I should start drinking coffee late in life. Maybe I’ve been working too hard and this was a sign that I need to slow down. Who knows?
Once my engines were revving, around 10am, I conferred with the Archdeacon on my meeting in Jacksonville last night, and attended to a task related to one of our seminarians.
Took care of a small piece of Nashotah-related business.
Spent the rest of the morning on taking the broad strokes of my Synod address to “rough draft” status.
Lunch from Hardee’s, eaten at home.
Returned to my Synod address, eventually completing the task by mid-afternoon.
Updated the status report on everyone involved in any way with the ordination process. Sent by email to the chair of the Commission on Ministry and the Archdeacon.
Conceived, hatched, and drafted a homily for St Luke’s Day, to be delivered at St Luke’s Church (Springfield) on the 18th.
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
