Holy Wednesday

• Usual morning routine.
• Processed a fairly formidable pile of hard-copy items, some of it still left over from my period of heavy travel during the latter half of last month. 
• Began consulting commentaries as part of the work of exegeting John 15:1-5 in preparation for a sermon on the Fifth Sunday of Easter.
• Lunch from Hickory River (chopped brisket), eaten at home.
• Quality time with the Bowflex and treadmill.
• Back to my exegetical work.
• Screening conversation by phone with a potential candidate for the position of Rector-Chaplain at St John the Divine, Champaign.
• Officiated at Stations of the Cross and celebrated Mass at the cathedral.
