Thursday
by Bishop Daniel
on February 7, 2013
- Disruptions to the routine of my life have lately disrupted my exercise routine, so it was good to have my usual Thursday morning workout.
- Task planning and Morning Prayer at home. Then to Green Hyundai for routine service on the YFNBmobile (Brenda followed me and shuttled me to the office).
- Debriefed with the Archdeacon on various matters, as is our custom when one or both of us have been out of the office for a while.
- Made a pastoral care phone call to one of our clergy.
- Processed some emails.
- Had Sue take me back to the Hyundai dealer to get my car. I have to go tire shopping now, as one of the tires has a slow leak that cannot be repaired. It was getting to be about time anyway.
- Scheduled meeting wearing my Nashotah House board chairman hat with an interested stakeholder (son of a longtime former professor and bishop).
- Lunch at home.
- Prepared and printed a working script for this Sunday’s homily (St John the Divine, Champaign).
- Spoke by phone with the rector-elect of St John the Divine, Champaign. (Can’t reveal his identity yet for a few more days, as he needs to break the news to his current parish.)
- Wrote a letter to one of our parishes whose rector has requested something from me regarding the diocesan mission strategy to be used in connection with a Lenten stewardship campaign.
- Spoke by phone with a representative of the UTO regarding the technical difficulties I have been having trying to submit a grant application.
- Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
