Wednesday

Early morning dog-walker was a no-show, so the lot fell to me.
Morning Prayer in the car on the way in, due to late start.
Processed a handful of emails and took part in a couple of minor administrative conferences.
Struggled with the readings for Proper 17 (September 2), having done my exegetical work last week, and finally gave birth to a message statement. Preparation on this sermon will not be put into cryogenic suspension until I return from my vacation on August 22.
Spent time on a matter is that is equal parts administrative, pastoral, sensitive, and difficult.
Met with the four members of the newly-constituted task team on Companion Diocese Relationships, under the leadership of Norm Taylor. We’re pretty much pressing the reset button on this.
Lunch at home (leftovers), and, of course, another dog walk.
Made a couple of pastoral-administrative-sensitive-somewhat difficult phone calls.
Worked on the website (loading content). We are “this close” to going live.
Took care of some Nashotah House flotsam and jetsam.
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
More dog walking in the evening. Brenda comes home tomorrow.
