We had a wonderful first afternoon (and evening) together with Laura and Shannon and Ayres, and this morning I ran my two miles in an unpleasant personal best time that pulled my rolling average down to 18:08. It’ll be hard to push it below 18:00, but that’s going to happen eventually; for now, though, I’m very very glad to be making timed runs only once or twice a week.
Then coffee and fruit, a shower, and made my way to St Michael and All Angels for the 9:30 service, then to St Helen’s to give the post-service Lent ‘Spiritual Snack’ talk on Lenten Spirituality, then to the Nag’s Head for Sunday roast with Margaret and the Exeter (NH, USA) family, and now I am shedding vast waves of stress, sitting still on the couch and deliberately not doing anything useful, unless you think blogging is useful (in which case I’m doing only one useful thing).
I didn’t preach this morning (Fr Paul did), but this is Three Lent Year C and the readings include the Covenant Between the Parts, which was one of my favourite homilies from my last year at St Stephen’s House. I’ll tuck it in beneath the ‘More’ option so that uninterested readers don’t have to look.
