Just an office update...

I am well, and things here are pretty regular.

The last few weeks have been excessively busy in the office with our catalogue supplement and the new edition of Goosegander (bi-annual newsletter of WGRG) being printed. They arrived last Monday before my return to Glasgow, and I spent the rest of the week (with help) and then these last three days stuffing and franking and mailing them all. I am really excited about this particular Goosegander, because I wrote an article/ reflection for it. So hopefully, good things will come from it. The only bummer is that my footnotes didn't appear. oops.

Sunday was our monthly Holy City event: "Soul Searching: suffer the little ones". I was asked to offer a workshop on environmental estrogens and did some writing for bits in the worship as well. The event was a success, in my opinion and some others' too---but the truth will be told on Thrusday night at our debriefing/planning meeting. The workshop reminded me of two things: my love for science and my love of teaching

As for the upcoming days and weeks...
April 1-2, I am away to an event with John in Broughty Ferry (Dundee--near St. Andrews). I will also get a chance to see my friend/colleague Stuart Muir, who is the pastoral musician at the cathedral in the city center of Dundee---St. Paul's I think its called. I suppose I may even get the chance to visit St. Andrews and see a few friends...time permitting.

April 8-18, John & I will be joining Kathy Galloway (Leader of the Iona Community), Alison Adams (Worship Works--colleague of John's), and others on the Iona for Holy Week. I will be helping facillitate the stations of the cross and some 'big sings'.

The rest of April is up for grabs at this particular moment...because I cannot remember what is scheduled in the diary (calendar) and because John is away to the States for these weeks. So, i don't know where I will be away to--if anywhere.

As for the rest, I cannot believe that April is already around the corner. I have applied for some college chaplain posts in the States and have some other opportunites/ applications up my sleave. If you think of me, please pray for discernment.

well, must run for now...bed is calling me

Blessings to you all,
Jamie
