Sorry — I was alternately writing furiously for homilies for the regular Sunday service and also our Healing and Wholeness service (and our Lenten series), and enjoying the last few days of our visitors’ stay with us. We loved seeing them, and three talks is a lot, and I was utterly battered by the time I finished yesterday.
To catch up: my run on Saturday was okay, on Sunday was actually pretty good, but this morning I woke up with inflexible joints and stiff muscles. I walked and jogged through the two miles, but it was not a pleasant run. It was a pleasant walk, I suppose, but I was frustrated to not be running even gently. I’m not sure what to make of all this, except that I hope to have the self-control to take some timed runs that deliberately aim not at faster speeds, but at a controlled, gentle, steady pace.
A lot of parish work today, but most of it was desk work. I’ll put yesterday’s main homily below the fold; I think I won’t post the H&W homily, since there are a couple of angles that would be easy to take amiss, out of context.
