A Day In The Life

It is amazing how many things you can fit into a day.

6AM - Wake Up
7AM - Church Service
8AM - Call to the National Church for advice
9AM - Breakfast
11:30AM - Lunch
1PM - Clergy Support Group
3:30PM - Selling the Garden as a good place to rent office space
5PM - Growing our Music and Arts in Elliot Park program to include some really cool stuff.

Then, to top it all off Sara and I went out to dinner at 7:30PM. I am not sure how the day filled up like that, it suddenly happened and while it was exhausting, it was quite fun.

On Monday, I spent the day in Rochester, meeting with parishioners, yes we have parishioners in Rochester and meeting with Douglas Sparks at St. Luke's to talk about the Gethsemane Plan.

Today I get to hang out and prepare for everything else that is coming this week, like the National Cathedral Young Adult Event here at the church this weekend. You know, nothing too much.

Then to top it off, we start the last phase of Eliot's treatment tomorrow, which is scary and nasty and very anxiety provoking. He could you know, die. He could also be just fine. There is enough of an avenue for bad thigns to happen that Sara and I are quite brittle at the moment.

Yikes. Can anyone say Vacation?

I need one.
Be well,
A+

Beautiful Impartiality. Easter Day Sermon

“Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him. If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.” So spoke Sojourner Truth in December 1851, just 5 years before this parish was founded, at a Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio. She began her brief and eloquent speech with the words, “Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter.” There has been a lot of racket in our world, in our Church in our lives. Something is out of kilter that is for sure. Each year during Holy Week, all the clergy in the Diocese are invited to attend a service of the reaffirmation of our

An interesting Observation

I was sitting on the pew out in front of the Church on 4th Avenue waiting for my lovely and beloved wife to pick me up. Our other car was in the shop and due to rushed-ness we had to just drop me off at Church today. Anyway, I was sitting out there for about 15 minutes waiting for Sara to come and pick me up and I noticed something very odd. I didn't keep a number tally in my head, but I bet half of the people walking toward me crossed the street, not in the crosswalk at the corner, but at some other point before arriving at where I was sitting. Now, I was wearing my collar and sitting in the pew reading a book. The pew has been used frequently I have noticed by many passersby, I even saw a young man take off one of the round parts of the pew, it had kind of fallen off, so no longer attached, but just stare at it and look it over as he walked on. So the pew has not been an intimidating thing, it was definitely me and my collar, and no, I didn't smell, because many others w

Having Faith

Image
Today I want to talk a little bit about having faith, particularly the faith we will all need this summer, particularly the faith we will need from June 9th to July 9th... Faith is kind of like a little caterpillar, in the hands of a child who has never seen a caterpillar. I love this picutre of Eliot, and mostly needed an excuse to post it, but I also needed to tell folks about the faith that will be required this summer. After a couple of days off the United States Men's National Team will be leaving for Germany for the World Cup . The World Cup is the greatest sporting event in the world. Greater than the Super Bowl, greater than the World Series and definitely greater than the NBA Finals. It is one of the only sporting events that lives up to its name as a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! The US Men will be heading over to Germany to take on the world, literally, their first game, June 12th, is against the Czech Republic, second they take on mighty Italy on June 17th and finally they
