Nativity of St John the Baptist

Back to a “normal” routine (whatever that is), following a wildly successful youth pilgrimage to England.
Organized tasks before, during, and after breakfast at home — mostly this involved turning a mountain of emails into tasks, then deciding which ones are more urgent and which ones less urgent.
Brief devotions in the cathedral followed by Morning Prayer in the office–too hot in the church!
Responded to some emails regarding Communion Partners, Nashotah House, and Youth Department issues.
Reviewed and suggested a tweak to the service bulletin for this Sunday’s visit to St Thomas’, Glen Carbon.
More administrative followup on the Youth Department issue.
Answered some more emails.
Attended the midday Mass for this major holy day.
Lunch from Taco Gringo, eaten at home.
Beefed up, tweaked, refined, and printed a working script for this Sunday’s sermon.
Attended to some Living Church Foundation-related administrivia.
Took care of some routine end-of-the-month personal organization chores.
Evening Prayer in the office.
