Tuesday

• Out of the house early to get Brenda to a 7:30 oral surgery appointment. The procedure was mercifully quick and we were back home before 9:00. Got her settled on the couch with her pain killers and made it in to the office around 9:30, having said Morning Prayer in the car.
• Debriefed with the Archdeacon on some currently pressing concerns in three of our parishes.
• Refined my homily for the Eve of the Epiphany, this Thursday night, at St John's, Decatur.
• Lunch at home; the patient was fast asleep.
• Wrote an article for the next issue of the Springfield Current.
• Usual Tuesday scanning chores, which included drafting a hard copy letter in response to one received from a lay person.
• Took a substantive phone call from a colleague bishop in another diocese around a couple of issues that will come before next summer's General Convention.
• Surveyed my February visitation schedule and made a few mental notes.
• Sent out an email in connection with one of the boards on which I serve.
• Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
