BEGIN AGAIN

Okay, I survived Holy Week (see below). I took two days off to recover from the stress of the week and banging out more sermons faster than GOE answers. At first, I actually wondered about the wisdom of doing that. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but then I went back to work. Ouch.

Wednesday seemed like a hard day to get back into the groove. Kind of like the first week of classes after a long break. "Tell me again what I'm doing here?"

Today was a little better. Concentrated on writing my sermon about Thomas for Sunday. Went to lunch with my treasurer. Did a mini-service review with him, since he was the only one who made all of the Holy Week services. Sent an e-mail to a friend. And tried to figure out what's happening this weekend.

This weekend -- I've been asked to serve on the diocesan Commission on Mission Planning. Now you know as much as I about it. I'll fill you in next week. But I was beginning to be stressed out. This meeting has been planned for months, and as of today, I hadn't heard anything about times or locations. My OCD alarms were going nuts. So I made some phone calls and finally got some specifics.

The Kid will be staying with some friends while the Lovely Wife and I are at this meeting over the weekend. She's excited because her archery instructor let her borrow a bow and several arrows. Her hosts are excited because they get to take her shooting. It'll be intersting to hear how the weekend transpires.

Have a good weekend.
