RevGals Friday Five: What cha doin'?....

-


Well friends, this is one of those weeks when I simply must work today, which is normally my day off. I know, I know. We may tut-tut all we want, but the fact is, some weeks are like that. So, this week's F5 is simple.Name five things you plan to do today.Bonus: If today is about "have-to" for you as well, share up to five things you'd like to be doing today.


1. First thing I am doing today is having a cup of coffee and blogging with Friday Five. It's a must do for me most Friday's.


2. Next I am going to get ready and go to the office for a morning of work preparing for Sunday. My Parish Admin works on Friday's so it's "a must do" to be there when she is.


3. I need to call a woman who interested in coming to our church and sent me an email last night. This is a must do!


4. I am having lunch with a colleague. We meet about once a month to share our ministries and process life and work. She is a laywoman, I am ordained....we bring interesting perspectives to the ministries we each live. I look forward to our time together and it is a "must do" of the best kind.


5. When I get home late this afternoon I have to pay bills and do laundry...it is a must do...


What would I rather be doing today? Well, thankfully I had a GREAT day off on Monday (you can read about it in Monday Musings), the first in awhile. And I may actually have another real day off this upcoming Monday....So, I'm Ok taking care of "must do's" today.

Sounds like a good day - a nice balance between the daily stuff and the more inspiring (lunch, your newcomer). Good list!

I always say prioritizing is the most important thing of any to do list...start the day with coffee and leave the bills til last.

Laundry and bills. Hmmm. If this was a Sopranos blog ring it'd be laundering big bills. (insert groan here)

Good for you for enjoying those Monday's off!

The Bleeding-heart: a poem by Mary Oliver

I know a bleeding-heart plant that has thrived for sixty years if not more, and has never missed a spring without rising and spreading itself into a grassy bush, with many small red hearts dangling. Don't you think that deserves a little thought? The woman who planted it has been gone for a long time, and everyone who saw it in that time has also died or moved away and so, like so many stories, this one can't get finished properly. Most things that are important, have you noticed, lack a certain neatness. More delicious, anyway is to remember my grandmother's pleasure when the dissolve of winter was over and the green knobs appeared and began to rise, and to cre- ate their many hearts. One would say she was a simple woman, made happy by simple things. I think this was true. And more than once, in my long life, I have wished to be her.

A Funeral Sermon: Healed by Love

There a few elements of life common to all people. Basically they include living, loving, suffering, and dying. All of us experience these aspects of life. The quality of them we may describe as good or not so good. Regardless these elements of life form who we are in deep and profound ways. Gathered here today we celebrate all of these. We celebrate the life of Lynn, wife, mother, sister, daughter, niece, cousin, friend. We come her today to honor all the ways she lived and you knew her in life. We remember her love. We are relieved that her suffering has ended. And we mourn her death. What I know about you all as a family is that you will do this well. Today and in the days ahead you will celebrate Lynn’s life with funny stories and laughter, with tears and sorrow. You will grieve her loss and you will rejoice that you knew her. In life we all suffer times of great sorrow. Our lives are peculiar. For just when we think everything is great, life is wonderful, something happens. An ill

Luke: A Mary Oliver Poem

I had a dog who loved flowers. Briskly she went through the fields, yet paused for the honeysuckle or the rose, her dark head and her wet nose touching the face of every one with its petals of silk with its fragrance rising into the air where the bees, their bodies heavy with pollen hovered - and easily she adored every blossom not in the serious careful way that we choose this blossom or that blossom the way we praise or don't praise - the way we love or don't love - but the way we long to be - that happy in the heaven of earth - that wild, that loving. poem from "Red Bird" photos from my personal file of my dog and a rose from one of our bushes
