I am going out of town for a while...to Baltimore to marry off some friends. I will return Sunday. Monday I am off to a three day retreat...hangin' with the Benedictines. This would normally be very good news, but things at church have gotten busy...administratively and pastorally. I can very willingly walk from the administrivia for a bit. It can wait. But this is the first time I have been away while there are pastoral needs. Ah, the life of the pastor. Joy, O rapture unforseen!
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it galantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen. (p. 461 BCP)Posted by tripp at August 17, 2006 10:36 AM

Trip
Enjoy the retreat. It's one of those things I keep saying I will do, then let "work" get in the way. We just GOTTA make time for such to be healthy as we can be in our ministry.
I am sorry our trip to Evanston was so short. I hope to come back soon - I miss it SO MUCH. Maybe we can visit next time around.
