⚓Very truly I tell you, the Kingdom of Heaven is like picking green beans to give away in the misty rain with the smell of gardenias rising all around...and nibbling on rain washed blackberries as you finish up.

⚓ Today is the 9th anniversary of my first day as the Rector of Holy Trinity in Clemson. What a wild and wonderful ride it has been! I have grown to love these good people and this part of God's creation more than I had imagined when I first arrived. 🫶🏼

If you grew up in the South, you know just how heavenly this smells. If you don't know this joy, come on by Holy Trinity this weekend and experience it for yourself. While you're here, say a prayer and tie a ribbon on the fence. ⚓

Third baptism in 3 weeks! Our first Sunday service at 10:30 is a children's service. Our children's choir sang "We are the church." I blessed a 2 week old infant and watched his grandmother weeping for joy. I still have a 5:00 service at this holy place. My heart is full.

The last Sunday of the semester is always Canterbury Sunday at Holy Trinity: one of our students preached, others served in various liturgical functions, and we baptized a young woman who has been part of our Canterbury Community for 4 yrs, with the core group as sponsors! Then we had a cookout.

A new dawn is rising;
great will be the understanding of those who know Love;
The darkness of ignorance
will be overcome!

Your heart is open to receive anyone with total, unrestricted love. For anyone who wants to come to you, there is room. You want to draw all people to yourself and offer them a home where every human longing comes to rest and every human need is satisfied."
