Yesterday I finished up my week (including two Sundays) of pinch hitting for a pastor friend of mine who is on study leave in France. It was fun to preach two Sundays in a row. It allowed me to make reference in my second sermon to ideas that were discussed in the first. And I think I laid some ground work with the whole congregation for an initiative that was discussed during the mid-week Session meeting that I moderated. I think that's a pretty successful stint as a stand in.

Now I have a Sunday off before I pinch hit for another pastor friend who will be away from his pulpit in Alameda. I'm working the "Have robe; will travel" circuit this summer.
