Friday (Martyrs of Japan)

My day began with a 9am cardiology appointment. It was a routine annual post-surgical follow-up. In the office by around 10.
Followed through via email with an individual in the ordination process.
Spent some initial prayerful time with the readings appointed for the Second Sunday of Easter, in preparation for preaching at Trinity Church, Yazoo City, MS, which I take care of under the Delegated Episcopal Pastoral Oversight arrangement.
Substantive phone conversation with a sales representative of another church management software vendor. Still hunting for the best database solution for us.
Lunch at home. Leftovers.
Plotted the various individual tasks necessary to make sure the annual Chrism Mass happens appropriately on March 19.
Spent a “holy hour” in prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Not by intention, but some of it turned out to be in the spirit of Psalm 131.
Rough-planned the first of my Lenten teaching series presentations at Trinity, Lincoln on February 17.
Attended to a bit of business connected to my membership on the board of Forward Movement.
Processed the ever-growing pile of diocesan newsletters, Lenten meditation collections, and the like that always threatens to cover my desk.
Evening Prayer in the cathedral–a bit on the early side, for a change. In the car toward home before 5pm.
