When I found out I had to go into my office this week, I had to decide if I was ready to return to the scene of the crime–the running route where I fell and fractured my rib and left hand seven weeks ago. I hesitated, but had to do it.
The scene of other crimes in January …
Welcome to the March 2021 edition of the Ultimate Coffee Date. Even though I’m still wearing a mask and washing my hands like it’s my job, I feel more vulnerable than ever to spring fever. Wouldn’t it be nice to grab a table outside for a real coffee date? These virtual meet-ups are the next best thing, so Deborah and I encourage you to participate and visit new blogs in the link up.

February was a fast and furious month. The weather was all over the place with a bit of snow and a lot of ice. I had to work every weekend to keep from getting too far behind. The monotony of still staying safer at home and the time it’s taking for my fractured hand to heal wore on me. I am ready to turn the page on my wall calendar and say “check, done!” to February 2021.
The last week of February teased us with sunshine and temperatures in the mid-60s. I know March weather can be fickle, but at least there’s more daylight to get us through.
On Wednesday I shared my thoughts on the confession my church is using during Lent, but now it’s time to share my February runfessions. Even though I’m still recovering from my fall, I’m ready to cleanse my soul soles at Marcia’s runfessional.

Deborah and I will be hosting the March Ultimate Coffee Date next weekend. We’ll open the (link-up) doors Friday March 5th, and keep the coffee brewing.
I’m often struck by the timelessness of the prayers in the Book of Common Prayer. Sure, the language has been updated a few times since 1662–and more significant liturgical changes were made in 1928 and 1979–but many of the prayers remain essentially the same.
That the same prayers resonate from generation to generation reflects the universality of the human condition–we have the same fundamental hopes, needs, worries, and regrets as those who lived in vastly different times. So what does it mean when a traditional confession is fitting for these unprecedented times?
