Tuesday

Up and dressed at the usual time, but restrained by the fact that there was still a considerable amount of ice on our sloping driveway.
Morning Prayer at home.
Processed a stack of emails on a range of subjects: youth pilgrimage, Nashotah House, clergy pastoral care, etc.
At around 10, it seemed that there had been sufficient thawing to proceed into the office, and I did so without incident.
Met with the Treasurer briefly over a finance concern.
Worked on beginning to pulling together a sermon on short notice for this Sunday, which had been free on my calendar, but is not populated with an impromptu visit to Trinity, Mattoon.
Worked on producing liturgy sheets for the two celebrations of the Eucharist at next week’s clergy retreat.
Lunch from TG, eaten at home.
At 1:30, proceed north, via a gas station with an attached car wash, to a location that required a bit of a drive in order to meet with two priests of the diocese on a sensitive matter. When I’m cryptic like this, it’s for reasons of pastoral confidentiality. While en route there, spoke by phone with a candidate for one of our clergy vacancies. On the way home, pastoral check-in by phone with the spouse of a cleric with some health issues.
Home around 6.
