I was feeling more stressed than I thought I was through Lent and into Holy Week. Easter felt like a stone rolled away and off my back. I had a great dinner with family and that added to the feeling of relief. School seems lighter, Classes are lighter as I'm only doing a Saturday workshop in a month with little reading and no online requirements this time around, and I canceled my clay class at the Art Center. I'm nearly ready to go with CPE this summer. I am applying for candidacy so things are moving right along though not without some anxiety.
I worry about time and what time might do to Christ Church. Its felt like a long road for some of us. I want to make sure we are moving along in a good way; positive and hopeful. It feels like we've been in transition for many many years. I want us to make sure we are minding ourselves and not worrying too much about the present situation. We need to see ahead and be hopeful. I am worrying about our cohesion as a faith community. I feel we are losing touch with each other and feel there isn't much I can do about it but encourage everyone. There are no crises at the moment but there doesn't seem to be much spark either. We need a focus on what's real, honest, and important... and I'm not feeling that.
