This is how I started the day. Fresh, ready, a little bloated, but optimistic. I ended the day having been chastised by an Administrator, gone off on all my colleagues, punching out a few snippy emails, discussing the legacy of St. Katharine, going off on another set of colleagues, presenting to faculty assembly about the Center, neglecting calling home and a dear friend who underwent surgery today, facilitating a Board meeting, having a great and needed dinner & convo, answering more emails before bed. My hope is that tomorrow will be better than today. That I remember my utilize proper tense when I type, and recall that this too shall pass. Enter where you already abide. Create on me that man I was born to be and allow me to do the work you have sent me here to do. Dear Lord, let me know the joy—the absolute joy of being used by you. Amen. #drmnola #tireddays #shortfuse (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwV6_GRl6nc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1io154uvgknt8
