Today was one of those days when I had to push myself to get the work done. There was a lot of preparation to be done - desk work - and that can sometimes sap the energy. However, I completed the Powerpoint presentation for Saturday's discipleship day and wrote a bulletin based upon the boom of Nehemiah.
Today the new Pope was inaugurated. He seems like a breathe of fresh air compared to his predecessor. He is clearly a man of the people and seems to be down-to-earth in a way that many senior Catholic figures are not. Let's hope this is a turning point in the Catholic Church's life and that he shows genuine sympathy with the struggles of ordinary folk.
Tonight is the circuit meeting at Skillington for the Grantham and Vale of Belvoir circuit. The findings of th Rural Missions Group (RMG) will be presented for approval of the way forward. It was a very positive meeting with a real appetite for change. On the way back on one of the country roads I hit a pot hole which created a huge bang but hopefully no lasting damage.
