Thursday

Usual weekday AM routine,
Took care of some preliminary details pertaining to a planned trip to Cuba next spring with my Class of 2011 bishop colleagues.
Read and responded to more Ember Day letters. I’m pretty impressed with our present group of postulants and candidates.
Stepped out for a while to get a haircut,
Lunch of leftovers, on the late side.
Spent the afternoon doing master sermon planning for the fall (Propers 17-29). This is laborious and time-consuming (including reviewing a bunch of old material to determine whether it can be successfully freshened; this time around, the answer was No about 60% of the time, which means I’ll have to develop new material for those occasions).
Evening Prayer in our domestic chapel.
