What a beautiful blog. I am so amazed.
Thank you for visiting!
Hello to my Christian Brother in Faith…you’re blog is an inspiration.
Thank you so much for this, very excited to have found the blog and love the subtitle.
I am glad you found my blog. The subtitle is from T. S. Eliot’s “Four Quartets” and expresses something of what I’m after in this writing, finding thematic unity among sometimes radically different elements.
So glad to have discovered your blog today. As a writer, an Episcopalian and struggling long-distance runner, I look forward to reading your posts and learning much. “Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and my mind” (Psalm 26.2)
Thank you for this, and welcome to the journey. As you will discover, the topics can be eclectic here, but I hope they always honor the advice of one of my greatest teachers, Robert McAfee Brown, who told my graduating class fifty years ago, “Don’t ever lose your sense of wonder.”
Thanks, Jim
Happy to meet you yesterday at St. Paul’s! I loved this Ascension reflection – thanks for sharing this.
Your blog on the discipline and spirituality of running and the entries about shape singing and the hospice installation cemented the deal. I’m following, with great interest.
Thank you for reading and following. My subjects have an eclectic range, and I am always happy to find others interested in exploring them with me.
Wonderful work here. Much honored to contribute to your noble cause. I hope to work with you again soon!
