An interesting week

The other week, I was asked what I did all day. Well here's some of the things I've done in the past few days:

• Led a day-seminar for Oak Hill College to review its governance procedures & practice
• Prepared & preached a sermon on men, women & headship - most feedback was positive, though some weren't so sure!
• Dealt with two confidential and difficult pastoral situations
• Played for the Diocesan golf team(!)
• Chaired the Standing & Finance Team
• Prepared the memorial service for a lady who died at the age of 107
  
• Practiced playing my sax for the HAHA service
• Prepared for a wedding
• Spoke to a choir master about an evangelistic concert in 2010
  
• Met with the church administrator
• Prepared to preach at the HAHA service
  
• Decided on autumn Bible study series

And then there were the emails, phone calls, letters and casual conversations in the street.

But next week will be completely different: no golf (shame!), no S&F meeting, no memorial services or weddings, no HAHA service...

So what do I say when people ask me what I do all day?
