Oh,
man . . . tired today. Such a lot been
going on. A hectic series of funerals,
preaching on Sunday, a magazine article deadline, sample chapters needed for a
new book proposal, letters to be answered, some critical reading awaiting, PCC
meeting tonight – with all the associated preparatory work. I feel a bit bushed.
Calm,
calm, calm. Breathe. Make a start.
I
tell you what, though, it’s Pancake Day (I think) – Shrove Tuesday. And that means Lent starts tomorrow, and my
fast from opinions. I am so looking
forward to it. I have to preach during
Lent – it’ll be interesting, though not especially hard, to preach a sermon
with no opinions in it. Straight
exposition.
Absolutely
nothing else interesting is happening here.
You?
It's Shrove Tuesday next week. Meanwhile I am enjoying your new book and took your advice to read it straight through straight away and then ponder it for Lent. The upside is you can have pancakes twice!!!
ReplyDeleteReally? Not until next week? Jeepers, Lent's a long time coming this year! Thanks. x
ReplyDeleteyou can probably breathe easy for another week, my calendar shows that Ash Wednesday is March 6, so that would make next Tuesday pancake day :)

Time to creep up on them there pancakes . . . xx
ReplyDeleteYour newfound energy came just in time for all of this activity! So curious about the book proposal... Have you added some other colors to your purple wardrobe of late? Hugs and prayers for you and yours... xoxo
ReplyDelete:0) Yes - a longing for the spring - wanting to see greens and pinks . . . xx
ReplyDeleteOh goodness! I am losing my year at a great rate of knots!
ReplyDeleteYou might want to have a big rush for a week and use up all the opinions you can manage to think of....like the way we clear out the ktichen and finish off the ice cream and biscuits before we start a diet.

In my desperation for color, I've taken to art journaling, buying supplies, reading relevant blogs, getting books on it from library and store. The longest winter, with two sad deaths midway, pushed me into a new direction for coping....it's an easy way to open a a window of color into your life.
ReplyDeleteDon't panic, Jeannie! Turns out I was a week early! xx
ReplyDeleteRapunzel - you got it! That's exactly what i've ben doing! Using up all my opinions while the chance remains :0D xx
