St Luke

Morning Prayer in my living room chair.
Responded at some length by email to some substantive concerns raised by some MLT members of one of our Eucharistic Communities.
Took care of some routine personal financial chores that I have been putting off for several days.
Did some major reconstructive surgery on an old sermon text for Proper 25 (a week from Sunday at St Matthew’s, Bloomington), making it usable for this go-round.
Lunched on leftovers.
Wrote #21 of an eventual 30 lectionary meditations for Forward Day by Day.
Performed the same sort of action on a “previously preached” All Saints homily as I had for Proper 25, this one to be delivered at Trinity, Mattoon on November 4.
Took a vigorous 6,500 step walk on a fine fall afternoon in Chicago.
Attended to some last-minute details pertaining to the synod Eucharist tomorrow afternoon.
Spoke by phone in a pastoral capacity with a cleric of the diocese.
Got myself and Brenda packed for three days in Springfield. Waited out the rush hour traffic by having dinner at a “southern cuisine” establishment about a mile from our home, then hit the road south. Arrived at the downtown Doubletree around 10:45.
