Thursday

• Usual AM routine. Remembered Morning Prayer this time!
• Wrote out notes to clergy and spouses with November birthdays and anniversaries. (I only hope they can read them; my handwriting is not what it used to be!)
• Met, along with the Archdeacon, with the Bishop's Warden and Treasurer from St Michael's, O'Fallon in connection with the process of calling their next Vicar.
• Lunch at home.
• Conceived and hatched a sermon for November 13, when I'm at St Thomas' in Salem.
• Went online to reserve a rental car for when we're in Florida for a preaching mission the week after next (followed by three days of R&R).
• Wrote my "From the Bishop" article for the November edition of the Springfield Current.
• Evening Prayer in the office.
