Today’s post is introducing something new. Take a look at the new page called Daily where I offer resources for daily prayer and scripture. On Tuesday and Thursdays I’ll post brief reflections on the readings for those days taken from the Daily Reading lectionary (not the daily office lectionary). Please take a moment to look around my site at some changes and updates I’ve made and let me know what you think. If you’d like to get an email when I do post, please subscribe (if you haven’t already). May I also ask you to share my blog with others?
