Trading paces


No McLaren review today. It was fun to have the luxury of time to do a lot of reading. Another time..

Yesterday was spent doing usual ministry tasks: proofing the Sunday bulletin, visiting a member in a nursing home, and attending a fundraiser for a local agency that meets needs of the developmentally disabled. It was a great day, but not one for reading. A Generous Orthodoxy will come up later.

For today, I have an appointment with a family whose baby will be baptized tomorrow, meeting with a committee getting a jump on next year's time and talents focus, a meeting with a member who is re-tooling our environmental covenant display, WorshipAlive! (a wonderful quarterly program we help host bringing great worship leaders to our area. Today: Richard Bruxvoort-Colligan, who'll be helping us experiment with psalms in worship.) and.......a hootenanny sponsored by one of the fellowship groups in the church. It's exciting.....

Hope you're having a great weekend, too!

I love Alice in Wonderland, and that is a great illustration. It sounds like you have a busy day planned. I have lots of chores too. Most of them will be "running in place" activities, but I think some will create actual progress.

Have a great day.

I love the idea of bringing in various worship leaders on a quarterly basis. I'm putting this in my worship file. Thanks.

I'm smiling at the word "hootenany!"

Sounds busy! So glad you're loving it. It's wonderful when we live with "who we are" intersecting "what we do."
