Thursday (Thomas Ken)
by Bishop Daniel
on March 21, 2013
- Up at the regular hour, but with the Zookeeper I live with visiting New York, I have extra pet care duties in the morning.
- Customary Thursday exercise, breakfast at home, in at the office around 9:15. Devotions in the cathedral, but Morning Prayer fell victim to the distraction of new Archbishop of Canterbury’s enthronement, live-streaming on the BBC website.
- Processed several emails (while viewing the Canterbury livestream, so the processing was not particularly efficient).
- Met with Kathy Moore, our Youth Department chair.
- Lunch (and dog-walking) at home.
- Re-engaged my sermon for the Seventh Sunday of Easter (May 12 in Normal), arriving at a main message point.
- Took some actions in preparation for a June 1 Clergy Day.
- Took some actions in anticipation of a couple of potential ordinations in May.
- Fleshed out and solidified the third of my five retreat addresses in Albany next month.
- Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
- Spent some time preparing for my role in tonight’s meeting of the Cathedral Chapter.
- Stepped out for a drive-through Italian beef sandwich (Chicago-style).
- Attended the Chapter meeting.
