Led a Preaching Conference today for the Brant-Norfolk Deanery in the Diocese of Huron at Trinity Anglican Church in Simcoe. Here’s a pic of the group in the nave and yours truly in the War Memorial Chapel. Love our Canadian neighbors. ⚓️

Here are some of the birds we heard singing on our walk this morning:

Great Crested Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbird, Gray Catbird, Tufted Titmouse, Brown Thrasher, Northern Mockingbird, Barn Swallow, Mourning Dove, Blue Jay, American Robin, Northern Cardinal, Carolina Wren

So looking forward to this! ⚓️

Presiding at the School of Theology’s graduation at All Saints’ Chapel, Sewanee. Such a remarkable class! ⚓️

Reaffirmation of Ordination Vows. Love these folks and grateful to serve with them

You Heart's Desire

Jesus, you see, was a fan of desire. He urged his followers to be full-hearted, not half-hearted. So long as you are clear about what is ultimate. About what is a worthy heart’s desire.

So what’s on your reading list for Lent? I know it’s sort of braggy but please consider my latest book A Full-Hearted Life.

Gracie wonders, “Are we really in Louisiana?”

Finished a talk on hope at St. Andrew’s, Sewanee. Next up: A conversation about A Full-Hearted Life at The School of Theology.

On our way to Sewanee. Looking forward to giving some talks tomorrow and to Convocation Friday

Thursday will be a full day. In the afternoon I'm the speaker for the Bishop Reynolds Forum at St. Andrew's, Sewanee. In the evening I'll be at the School of Theology at the University of the South to talk about my book A Full-Hearted Life. ⚓️

64 mph winds. Thunder. Rain. Tornado watch. Gracie has assumed her usual position. (She’s still in the cone post-radiation but doing really well)

Presiding and preaching at Fr. Joe Bordelon’s funeral this morning. What an honor! For decades he served three of our congregations with tender care and faithfulness. ⚓️
