Friday (St Aidan)

Usual weekday AM routine. Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
Got to work on my homily for Proper 19 (September 16 at St Mary’s, Robinson), taking it from “developed outline” to “rough draft.”
Left a voicemail with the rector of a parish I am visiting soon.
Took a brief walk around the half-block.
Attended to a bit of prep for the November clergy conference.
Investigated a new platform from international fund transfer, which our companion diocese relationships require us to do from time to time.
Lunch from KFC, eaten at home.
Friday prayer: Ignatian meditation on the passage from John 6 appointed for today in the daily office lectionary.
Drafted my regular “column” for the next edition of the Springfield Current. How this works is that I post what I write on the diocesan website, and Paige harvests it for the print product at the appropriate time.
Did some internet sleuthing on a piece of liturgical minutia, but toward a worthy end.
Cranked out #13 (of an eventual 30) in the set of lectionary meditations I’m doing for Forward Day by Day.
Evening Prayer (short form) at home, to which I was summoned a bit earlier than planned for some emergent personal business.
