Sad day. We had to say goodbye to this ray of sunshine today, unexpectedly. She was seventeen years young. I'm still having a bit of trouble processing it.
I hope this picture makes you smile. She was such a light to us. I'll miss her terribly.

Today on the feast day of St Chrysostom let us remember that when two or three are gathered in Christ's name, He will be there.
And gee, there's an awful lot of you gathered and reading this, so that's at least a couple. Thank you, Jesus, for being present in our midst. 📕

For class, I need to visit three different worship services that go outside my comfort zone.
In preparing myself, I check the "What to Expect" sections of their websites.
Self-serve communion is definitely outside my comfort zone, team. 📕

Everyone should have a copy of the Revised English Bible (REB). It's a beautiful translation (Anglican NLT, basically.)
Its choices drive thought, like in 1 Tim 3:11, which is often translated as "wives." I dug into the Greek to figure out if this is originally ambiguous: Seems yes! ⚓

Margins are a little thin.
Like I said, this came off Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0521...
I did not pay that much.
Note if you ARE hunting: there are inaccurate listings of $50 for a leather copy that is actually just the cloth hardcover.
The key is the Cambridge product code: REBA143
