Today's activities exemplify what I dearly love about serving in the pastoral office: the variety of tasks that present themselves each day. That, and what an honor to accompany the people of God in their earthly pilgrimage with the unspeakable comfort of the Word and prayer and the Sacraments of Christ! It's the sort of day that I thank God for putting this most unworthy sinner into the office that preaches the reconciliation.

Rev. Weedon, are you ever NOT elated? You seem too happy to be a real person.
Dear Anon,
Oh, I'm real enough! But no, I'm not always elated. There are days I am ecstatic... ;)
Seriously, the down days are there, but when they occur, I don't feel like writing and I don't. But I do think they tend to be less often for me than for many others - I'm not sure why. Something in the genes? I'm usually "up" and whistling and enjoying whatever the day brings. As my wife put it so rudely: "It doesn't take much to get you excited." I figure that TDP will leave me on cloud nine for a long time to come...
so you going to preach electronically what you preached vocally?
I have nothing but respect for the amazing graciousness and sacrifice of those who administer the gifts of God to a broken world. Kudos.
