Thursday (St Dominic)

Up for prayers, tea, and a breakfast muffin before briskly walking the one-plus miles to my 0800 chiropractic appointment.
Back home around 0900. Worked the crossword, planned tasks for the day, showered, and got laundry started.
Sent a brief email to my tax preparer with a couple of questions.
Email exchange with the rector of my DEPO parish, We need to reschedule my visitation.
Substantive phone conversation with the senior warden of one of our Eucharistic Communities that is facing a pastoral vacancy.
Engaged in a bit of internet pastoral care, responding to a long email from a lay communicant of the diocese with another longish email of my own.
Lunched at home on leftovers.
More significant progress on my pastoral teaching document.
Developed my homiletical message statement for Proper 16 (St Bartholomew’s, Granite City) into an outline that I can further develop into a draft text next week.
Did a major chunk of reading in the book I’ve promised to review for The Living Church.
Evening Prayer with Brenda.
