I didn’t run yesterday morning; I woke up early and realised that the sermon I’d prepared for the 10:30 service just wouldn’t preach, at least not that morning. That meant I had to come up with a sermon between 5:30 and 10:30, and I did at least cobble something together sufficient unto the day. Then we rested until evening, when the Big Coral Service happened — the church rammed full, the choirs in good form, and the greatest story ever told to narrate.
This morning I did run, though the ‘real feel’ temperature was -5°. Morning Prayer, early office work in R&R, pastoral visit, hurried lunch, home communion and a lot of storyplistening, and that’s a wrap for the 23rd.
