It's stunning.
I am sitting at the table as the winter sun of Colorado pours in and my personal to-do list looks like this:
1) Write clergy thingy for February
2) Write book.
That's it. Apart from packing, my prep for this weekend's mega Called & Gifted in the Kansas Cities is done. (Both KCs, the Kansas and Missouri dioceses are sponsoring dueling English/Spanish Called & Gifteds). No one knows how exactly how many will show and the numbers keep climbing: 250. . .300 . . .etc. And that's just for the English workshop. So our staff are scrambling to ship the necessary supplies and hand-outs today.
And my prep for the Introduction to the Making Disciples process to the pastors and leaders of 5 parishes in KC, KS on Friday morning is also done.
And I'm ready for the Corpus Christi catechetical conference talks the weekend after next.
After four and half years, we have actually managed to clear the decks for me to attempt . . .THE BOOK.
You know, the book that will sum up, in a winsome, compelling and theologically profound way, everything we've learned working with 55,000 Catholics in 94 dioceses over the past 12 years and across a million air miles. In something like 125 pages 'cause most people don't have time to read long books.
I have two months to write a first draft.
I'm not complaining. There are tons of people who would kill for the chance to be paid to stay home and write that book that they have always wanted to write.
Breathe deep but don't hyper-ventilate is the ticket, I think.
And pray. Your prayers would be most appreciated!
