As predicted, lots of putzing around. Hung some blinds. Will be upgrading an old laptop with an SSD to give it some new life and speed. Switched out the green breviary for the blue breviary and moved all the prayer cards, cheat sheets, and bric-a-brac to the new book. The Christmas decorations have come out and there are plans afoot to begin decorating in earnest once some of the working kids get home. We knocked out the first drop of Stranger Things and the latest episode of Plur1bus. This morning’s run was a nice and crispy 32 degrees and there were a few other folks on the greenway, plus the usual deer and squirrels.

Like the deer that years for running streams…

I felt so good after the run that I busted out a variation of one of the prayers from the Liturgy of the Eucharist in thanksgiving:

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation for through your goodness we have this day on offer. Fruit of your love and gift beyond all reckoning, may it be for us the time of our salvation.

When bits of the liturgy start coming out in weird places, I can’t help but think that’s a good sign. Let those walls between Sunday and the rest of the week dissolve into one glorious act, like a watercolor blending from one color to another.

Glorifiquen al Señor con su vida. Pueden ir en paz.

Amen.
