I hope I always continue to enjoy the rapid changes I encounter each day. Today, for example, I had a lovely time in a parishioner’s home, drinking coffee, eating delicious home-made scones, and chatting. When I returned to the office, I met with a street person who was clearly mentally ill and wanted to recite his personal history since approximately 1973. From there, I went to lunch with the Bishop.  We got to know each other a little and talk about some of the issues that I’m dealing with at Grace.  We even talked theology for a few minutes. That was refreshing. The afternoon was more quiet, giving me time to work on a couple of writing projects and do some planning.
