It's been over a week since my last post.
On the one hand, I'm sorry I haven't written. I really do enjoy reaching out to all of you in this way.
On the other hand, I don't feel too badly about it. Other things have simply taken priority. Visiting people who need pastoral care - including my own daughter who broke her arm last week. Teaching two courses each week - a Bible study and the prayer series. Writing a sermon. Electing a bishop. Marrying two thoroughly lovely people.
But I come back to this because it, too, is a priority. The urgent must NOT always take over the important. God calls us to faithfulness in regular habits of relationship and self-discipline which shape our lives, as individuals and as a community.
Some disciplines are not nearly as fun as this one . . . sharing my thoughts and news of our life at St. Paul's together. I'll keep writing if you'll keep reading.
Thanks for YOUR faithfulness.
Blessings,
Janet+
