So, what did I do today? I got to our office - we're three chaplains - snapped at one of them and wished I hadn't, started going through my emails and pretty much succesfully avoided writing Sunday's sermon untill I had to leave for a meeting at 1 p.m. Then I got home, sat down in front of the computer and for the past three hours have been customizing this blog. In between I had a quick bite to eat together with the Husband who then had to get back to work. Not a bad day - except for the morning - but not a great one either which is fine, of course, and yet... well, great days are more fun. I did learn quite a bit, though, so that's good.
I guess my biggest revelation for this whole week has been to realize how deeply rooted I am to my own church. It ain't the finest in the world but still it's my home. It has its faults, how could it not since it is made of humans, but that never stopped us loving people either. This in fact is not the point, though, but rather that I represent this particular denomination and I can't even if I wanted to, be something else. It is sometimes what I feel is expected of me - my congregation is a multidenominational one - but it isn't something I can do nor even should do. That's the good part. Being me is enough.
Niin että mitä? Tämä päivä ja tämä viikko - ainakin tähän asti - on rehellisesti sanottuna käynyt voimille. Tylsää ei todellakaan ole ollut, mutta aika yksipuolista siinä, että kaikki valveillaoloaika on enemmän tai vähemmän mennyt isojen ja hankalasti aukeavien juttujen pohtimiseen. Minkäs teet kun aivot eivät suostu lopettamaan ennen kuin kokonaisuudesta on joku käsitys. Se ongelma meillä on, jotka etenemme kokonaisuuksista yksityiskohtiin. Oma vika tietysti, etten ole vain jääräpäsesti ottanut aikaa myös ihan muunlaisiin asioihin. Niin kuin nyt oscareiden jakotilaisuuden katsomiseen videolta. Tai Greyn anatomian. Itse asiassa nyt kun tuli mieleen, taidanpa tassutella olohuoneeseen, istua alas ja katsoa sen eilisen Greyn anatomian.
