Friday (Jonathan Daniels / Maximilian Kolbe)

Plowed through another (shorter than yesterday) stack of items needing a response from me–some short, some more substantial.
Opened a sermon file (pray, paste readings into a document, read slowly and reflectively, make initial notes) on Proper 23 (October 11 in West Frankfort).
Conceived and hatched my next-due post for the Covenant blog. Something on the process of sermon preparation. I’d say it’s about 60% written.
Did an Ignatian meditation on the daily office gospel reading.
Caught up on some deferred reading. Save for tomorrow’s Diocesan Council meeting, I am sufficiently caught up to be able to head into Vacationland right on schedule.
