Deep Breath!

Well another St. Thomas Meditative Service has come and gone, and as much as I enjoy the service, it is a relief that this one is over. Mostly because this time around it was my responsibility to organize the service. Being one to delegate I was not too worried about the process, but it was still a bit trying for me. Probably the biggest issue was just the timing, even being a leap year February still is kind of a short month, so time went fast. I was coming off of preaching and giving a Valentine's day talk at a brunch, along with trying to get ready for the Operation Genesis kick-off. So it just got me a little bit burnt out, so I put off planning for the St. Thomas Meditative Service until the next week. That next week also happened to be the week immediately preceding the service itself. Woops! Fortunately people were able and willing to help and things did fall into place. I am especially grateful for our musicians who played so wonderfully, you wouldn't have known how little time I gave them to prepare! All in all the service went splendidly and I think it really helped those who attended have an encounter with the divine.
