My whole house (built in 1943) is only 925 square feet. It has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. More than enough for me.

Why not four times, including the Second Sunday of Easter? (Which, when I was vicar of St. Thomas's Mission, I always subtitled, "The Sunday of St. Thomas", our second partrnal feast.)

On Friday night 13 yr old Nyah Mway was shot and killed in Utica, NY. Today in church we heard Jesus say to a 12 yr old: "Little girl, get up." I pray that Nyah hears the voice of Jesus: "Little boy, get up."
I commend to you the webcast of Grace Church in Utica.

Nativity of St. John the Baptist: (Jn. 3:30) "He must increase, but I must decrease." Near the summer solstice, as the days begin to get shorter we celebrate the birth of the latter, while near the winter solstice, as the days begin to grow longer, we celebrate the Nativity of Light of the World.

I looked at my calendar one week and saw on Tuesday: "6 p.m., Dinner at their house". I had no idea whose house. Tuesday afternoon Letitia called me and asked me if I needed directions to their house. I had a lovely evening with Mark and Letitia and their 2 children. God is good! May Laura call you!
