I miss serving on Sundays at Church as a Lay Eucharistic Minister. Due to COVID-19 my parish, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church is meeting outdoors and taking precautions to keep our members safe. This means communion, which is served in two-parts, bread and wine that is the body and blood of Christ we are only serving the bread which is safer to serve. (I would normally serve the wine which comes from a chalice which is a common cup everyone drinks from by a very ancient tradition).

Much has changed in how we live our daily lives. Everything seems different and it’s challenging to all of us to adapt and adjust. For me my faith has helped out with that. Other folks are finding comfort in their own ways. My hope is for a future where we can return to the ordinary but the normal will be redefined.

Service on Sunday is important to me but keeping my family, friends and strangers safe and well is so much more important. God calls that being good to my neighbors and myself.

Yeah, I am doing that word of the year thing all the cool kids are doing and my word for 2021 is “Processing”. What does that mean exactly? Well, it means for me to process and think about stuff that has happened over the past couple of years. Sharing my results with family is essential. Maybe a little meditation will help and definitely some blogging.

I don’t know what to do with my feelings sometimes and that causes me great confusion and some pain. I need to sort through the stuff that is on my heart and in my head. Yep, I picked a weird time in history to start this processing thing but you know there is no time like the present.

I manifest and speak into the universe this time in my life. With my creator at my side, I shall process the things that I need to make me a better version of the good person I already am.
