Almost Done...

The terribly busy week that is. Last Sunday I looked at the "to be done" list and groaned. This is what it looked like:

1. prepare bulletin for Nov 13 (done Sunday afternoon)
2. prepare bulletin for Nov 20 (done Monday Afternoon)
3. prepare sermon for Nov 13 (in progress--to be optimistic)
4. prepare prayers for memorial service at Extended Care Wing
5. prepare and lead Bible Study on Christmas stories (this week we looked at pronouncement stories)
6. attend service in #4 (Thursday afternoon)
7. prepare sermon for Remembrance Day
8. preach said sermon (also ended up doing memorial prayers -- thanks to Monastic Mumblings that was easily prepared)
9. attend Presbytery Exec Teleconference this morning
10. prepare worship for meeting on Monday in Big City (done during teleconference--a wonderful way to multi-task)
11. write pieces for church newsletter (done just after lunch)
12. lead worship (that whole "do your job" thing)
13. go to Big City for meeting (via Not So Big City) -- an all day process for a 6 hour meeting

And then of course there were those other things that come up in the course of a week. Well everything except the last two are completed--oh right there is that matter of what I will preach tomorrow. Title is "The Day of the Lord", a concept I find hard to deal with at the best of times (especially with the Zephaniah reading we are using this week).
