Friday (Immaculate Conception)

  • Always angling for greater efficiency in the planning and execution of my life and work, I am habitually promiscuous when it comes to personal organization software. I've just decided to make another move, which consumed a chunk of time at home last night and another chunk this morning. This may be about deeper psychological issues, but it will take a shrink to sort that out. Anyway, I got a late start to the actual work day.
  • Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
  • Consulted with the Administrator briefly.
  • Continued to joust with technology.
  • Prepared, sealed, and signed a certificate appointing Father Andy Hook as diocesan exorcist. He has background, interest, and training in this area, and I am grateful for his availability to embrace this ministry. Of course, like the members of the Disciplinary Board, Dean Hook, I'm sure, hopes he never has to act on these newly-conferred credentials. But it's wise to be ready. The "elemental spirits" of universe that revel against God are real.
  • Joined a video conference of the Forward Movement board.
  • Lunch at home. Leftovers.
  • Emailed some clergy with upcoming ordination anniversaries.
  • Hand-wrote notes to accompany checks to some the outreach grant recipients approved at the last Diocesan Council meeting.
  • Scanned and otherwise processed the contents of my physical inbox, a routine chore.
  • Spend a "holy hour" (not actually an entire hour, but a substantial portion thereof) in the presence of Christ as he is manifest in the Blessed Sacrament.
  • Attended to a piece of personal business.
  • Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
