Love this opening!
In my bullet journal I named today Full-thrust Thursday. I've taken to naming the days over my lists just like we name days here. In a way, it is using P&Ps Bound to be Organized discipline of defining the daily focus.
Anyway, I need full thrust here. To look at me, sitting on the couch with my feet up, still in my dressing gown, it doesn't look like I'm off to a good start.
Appearances can be deceiving. This madness contains method!
The service for Sunday is now complete. The sermon is half written with an outline of the second have in my notes but I have to do a bit more research on context. It is Thanksgiving so I'm assigned the thanksgiving passage which is the same every year. Which makes it harder to come up with a sermon. I've read over my past 3 sermons on Thanksgiving and while picking a verse for the Christ Candle lighting, came up with a sermon idea using the Epistle (which is on the 3 year cycle) so now I have to write a whole sermon.
I can't reuse my sermons because I have some sharp people who might remember them. I do reuse (but tweak) prayers because that's liturgy so I feel that is acceptable since the liturgy part is supposed to be familiar and traditional. Besides, I took a Thanksgiving opening prayer written by one person, and wrote additional prayers continuing that theme so it is a nice set to use each year. The hymns don't change either, these are ones we sing just once a year.
I'm off now to get my dressed and then breakfast. Dh is going out later and dropping me at the hospital for my blood test while he runs an errand. Then we'll run some more errands together and go visit dgs. He wants to see him and dd before he leaves for Barcelona.
Which reminds me, I need to see how things are in the streets there today.
