Let us continue to remember those who are affected by Hurricane Ike and the aftermath. From what I have read 7 are dead and millions are without power. No idea if I will be called upon to assist but one never knows when the phone will ring.
Weekend Round Up
So where have I been you ask? What a weekend this was. It began on Thursday with the 9/11 ceremony and a wake service and then a funeral and mercy meal on Friday. After that much running around for the golf tournament on Saturday.
Saturday was the golf tournament and meal after that. Then office work that I should have done before yesterday and did not do so it was my own fault.
Sunday will bring Liturgy and the annual stewardship presentation during coffee hour. Well it is a little more than coffee hour this week as we end the summer season. After all of that I think I will crash and watch the patriots game at 4pm. GO PATS!

For those of you who wish to follow the blog on Facebook, as I asked a few days back, go to Facebook and friend me and I will send you an invite. That seems to be the easiest way.
Thanks!
Visiting Scholar
The faculty at the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts has voted to grant me Visiting Scholar Status for the 2008-2009 academic year. This is a research position that grants me library privileges and access to other faculty. I will begin a project on the Theology of Suffering and Trauma and work to develop a course that could be taught in seminary to prepare ministerial students to deal with Trauma and Recovery in a much better way.

Shepherd of Souls
Well there is some good news! My Podcast, Shepherd of Souls will now be on the local radio station here in the village. The Spirit 970 (WESO) will be broadcasting my program on Sunday mornings at 8:30. Have no fear the podcast will continue the format might change a little but that will be the only difference.

Well it looks like all we are going to get is some rain and much wind so it could be a rocky night. I pray all is well out there for those in the path of this thing, and let us not forget the one right behind this one.
UPDATE: I just looked out my window and man it is really coming down out there. I hope Onchu is in for the night!
I forgot to ask for prayers for those who have to work tonight. Keep them all safe.
O God, your unfailing providence sustains the world we live in and the life we live: Watch over those, both night and day, who work while others sleep, and grant that we may never forget that our common life depends upon each other’s toil; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Compline. The Prayer Book Office
September 11th
I have been asked to be the speaker at our town’s 9/11 ceremony. Nothing like waiting until the last minute but I have some thoughts and some writing to do. I will try and record the talk and share it here and in the podcast.
