Thursday

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.
