Wednesday (John Mason Neale)

Morning Prayer fell through the cracks today, as I was immediately engulfed upon arrival at the office by a chain of phone calls, both incoming and outgoing, that lasted until nearly 11:30. All were with either clergy or wardens in the diocese, pertaining to various emerging issues in various parishes.
Refined and printed the working notes of my sermon for this Sunday (St John the Baptist, Mt Carmel).
Lunch from China 1, eaten at home.
Plotted a course toward being prepared for my guest preaching gig in the Diocese of Tennessee on September 22, when the House of Bishops will be meeting in Nashville.
Took care of various bits of administrivia (for example, printing and signing forms giving consent for bishops in other dioceses to retire–yes, my life is that exciting!).
Wrote out birthday and anniversary greetings to clergy and spouses for the rest of August .
Scanned and otherwise processed the pile of hard copy detritus that was in my physical inbox.
Evening Prayer (memorized form) in the car on the way home, as it was already well past 6.
