We are a new church, with newly chrismated members, so this is something very new for all of us. I am constantly blessed with all of the richness into which God has allowed me to enter. abby <*)))><

Lions and tigers and bears and tigers, oh my! Originally Posted by amberpep Bishop Thomas.

And as my Aunt Mary said, "I know nothing." We are all pilgrims. We are all dumb.

With our Matins and Divine Liturgy, and then the meal with Bishop Thomas .... again, I'm so grateful God has led me Home. I know I'm where I belong. Bishop Thomas is a dear, grounded man, with a very good sense of humor. I thoroughly enjoyed his presence with us all. abby <*)))><
