Thursday (Richard Hooker)

A slow start to the morning, given my recent medical issues. Morning Prayer and task planning at home.
In the office around 10am, where I attacked a modest pile of hard copy items that had accumulated since I dropped by a couple of weeks ago. A couple of them were unexpected zingers that demanded immediate serious attention and consultation with the Archdeacon.
Met with a potential aspirant to Holy Orders and mapped out the contours of a parish discernment process for him.
Listened to and responded to a couple of voicemails.
Home for lunch, from whence I worked for the rest of the day. Feeling slightly underpowered.
Identified a homily for Proper 27 that was amenable to being reconstructed for use this Sunday at St Paul’s, Carlinville, and went about the process of said reconstruction.
Attended to some of the transportation details of an upcoming trip.
Did the broad stroke planning for worship at next week’s clergy conference.
Evening Prayer in my recliner.
Dealt with feelings of withdrawal owing to the fact that there was no baseball to watch on TV during the evening!
