I learned today that Tom Bone, member of a Methodist church that I served, passed. He was kind, sang in the choir, shoveled snow unasked, preached when I was away. He was made cartoons for the WV Annual Conference newsletters. Here’s one that is getting me teary. may he rest in peace & rise in glory

I went out for a while yesterday but today just checked the riverfront park for a bit. Had these two female/1st year blue winged teal among the usual Canada geese and mallards

Anytime someone suggests technology adoption is inevitable, I will say, “I’m sorry but I don’t hear you because I was too distracted by my 1995 Virtual Boy”

It was good and tiring. Both services still avoiding the summer slump. A new family stuck around for coffee hour. Our diocese put on a story telling event this evening, which I had a hand in some logistics for, that was very well attended!
