Tuesday (William Laud)
by Bishop Daniel
on January 10, 2017
- Usual weekday AM routine. Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
- Responded by email to four messages that arrived yesterday. Three were fairly easily and effectively dispatched. One required an uncommon amount of care the verbal finesse.
- By the time I finished with those, it was time to leave for a 10:30 appointment with my primary care physician. This yielded a visit to the lab for a blood drawn and a chest X-ray.
- By the time I emerged from the clinic, it was nearly noon, so I swung by KFC for the lunch, which I brought home to eat.
- Attended to another piece of demanding–but important and, unfortunately, necessary–piece of verbal craftsmanship, having to do with a sensitive pastoral/administrative matter (which is a euphemism I use frequently, I realize, for things I really can’t say anything about in detail).
- Revised, refined, proofed, and printed a homily for this Sunday (Christ Church, Springfield).
- Took another hard and long look at the major teaching piece on ministry that’s been in the works for a couple of years. It’s now up on the diocesan website and linked to on the diocesan Facebook page (According to the Gifts We Have Been Given).
- Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
