What He Said

I don't understand either.

Preachy

Yeah, I got up at 6 am.

Yeah, I'm a wreck.

If you're curious about what I had to say at a 7am service comprising a whopping 10 congregants, you can read my three-minute homily here.

Be Not Afraid

God is with us.

Merry Christmas, beloved friends and family. You yourselves are all the gift I need.

Oh, the Mundanity!

This week features the following events of note:

• the brain surgery of my parish's rector, Jim Donald, to install a shunt, which we hope will relieve the pressure on his brain (please join me in praying for his health and well-being);


• three days of admin work, Monday through Wednesday, at NAMI (the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill);


• two mid-week runs of approximately 5-7 miles each;


• a chance to catch up on solo socializing whilst Andrew disports himself at Yoga Camp;


• an opportunity to make some more silver jewelry, thanks to the generous birthday gift of PMC from David & Lynn; and


• a 22 mile run on Saturday morning (which definitely indicates that I am insane, please pity me).

I have a few possible job irons in the fire. I'll certainly let you know if any of them progresses beyond the "I-sent-in-a-resume-through-somebody-I-know" phase.
