(I've started blogging in Japanese again; click the 日 button below if that's something that concerns you...)
One wedding, two fake weddings, one dedication, and, today, an exorcism. I've nearly collected the full vicar set. Oh, and today, "visiting preacher", which I think is worth a few points.
How the heck did this happen? I'm sure that some time in the not too distant past I was a computer programmer whose biggest problem was the most elegant way to code a particular algorithm. Now I'm saying "visiting preacher" like it's part of normal life.
It feels like a year since last Sunday. I honestly can't remember all of the things that have happened in the last week, which means I probably need to blog more. I've preached four - different - sermons in the past two Sundays. Last week I was also a "visiting preacher" in Kusatsu church, and preached at our Latin group in the evening. Monday, a Japanese lesson in the morning and some time to catch my breath in the afternoon. Tuesday, a few of us from church went to the Vories exhibition, which is why I came back blogging all melancholy. Wednesday: I have no recollection. Thursday, trying and failing to write a sermon; played go in the afternoon. Lost. Friday, talking with Takahashi-sensei in the morning, and then off to western Kyoto to be a foreign guest at an English school's end of term party. Saturday with H, and then today, preaching at Kyoto Ai No Church in the morning, and our English service in the afternoon.
I'll try to write some kind of analysis of all this later, but for now, I've frankly had enough.
