Friday (St Richard of Chichester)

Usual AM preliminaries. Got started on four loads of laundry.
Attended to a small bit of Living Church Foundation business.
Established a Zoom (video conferencing) account for the diocese. It will be used a great deal, I expect, during this season of “coronatide.”
Spent the rest of the morning wrestling my exegetical notes on the propers for the Third Sunday of Easter (when the church I will not be preaching in is St Thomas’, Salem), finally resulting in a homiletical message statement for the non-occasion.
Lunched on leftovers. Continued with laundry.
More sermon work: Quality time with commentaries on the readings for Easter IV, when I’m not preaching at Emmanuel, Champaign.
Decided not to waste 61 degrees and sunshine and, still against medical advice, took a modest walk (wearing my boot, of course).
For my Friday devotion, did a lectio divina on the daily office Old Testament reading for tomorrow.
Responded to a newsy email from a military chaplain who is canonically resident with us
Got some jambalaya for dinner into the oven, then read the evening office with Brenda.
