I have been offline for a few months. My #PTSD service dog died on NY Eve and then I slipped on ice and broke my back after a Commendation of the Dying in February. Came back to track #elcacwa25
Thrilled with the call of +Bp Curry to Presiding Bishop

Reading a paper and stumbled across a quote from physicist Niels Bohr. Bohr was responding to his son who was complaining about the obtuse nature of physics concepts.
Bohr said, "You are not thinking, you are merely being logical."
Dang, that landed danger close.

O God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Christ our Lord. Amen
