Tuesday

Customary early-AM weekday routine.
Attended by email to a fairly serious pastoral-administrative issue.
Moved the ball a couple of yards downfield toward securing a presenter for November’s clergy conference.
Responded to a request from a colleague bishop for some insight on a canonical matter.
Responded substantively to one of our parish clergy on two distinct concerns.
Took steps to give more concrete shape to the diocese’s participation in the “Thy Kingdom Come” prayer initiative between Ascension and Pentecost.
Broke off from that effort to keep a physical therapy appointment.
Took Brenda to a post-surgical wound check and device adjustment.
Lunched–very late–on leftovers.
Re-engaged and completed the “Thy Kingdom Come” task.
Attended in a fair amount of detail to a pastoral-administrative issue.
Finished the draft of the Covenant blog post I began last week. Sent it off to the editor.
Evening Prayer with Brenda.
After dinner (while watching the Cubs game with one eye): Did significant surgery (it needed to be cut in length by a whole lot) on a sermon text for Easter V, in preparation for preaching on that occasion at St John’s, Decatur.
