Hodgepodge, MOLC style

Have had a few things in the hopper that don't really fall into one category or another..... the only common thread is that they deal with topics I've brought up here in the past.

Episcopalians and Saints.... isn't it a remarkable area?? Yes, we believe that some folks have come through life as shining examples of frail humanity and the strength that comes from being a disciple of Jesus all rolled into one. We don't 'make' saints, but honor their memory and witness. It often warms my heart to learn about one of these heros.... so let me give you a few sites that give info on saints (passed on by Ms. Hodgepodge herself, DSL):

http://saints.grettir.org/

Next, in connection with the prayers for and stories of animals here, I came across a book @ the Episcopal Book and Resource Center [(http://www.episcopalbookstore.org)@ the national church center @ 815 First Ave in NYC] which may be helpful for those grieving the loss of a dear pet. Check out "Grieving the Death of a Pet" by Betty Carmack.... AugsbergFortress (Lutheran-based publisher).

That will do it for this installment.... If you are wondering about resources, books, music, video re: church, worship, etc, PLEASE drop me a line and I'll post it here for general info. At your service: deaconj@geraniumfarm.org. Peace and blessing 'til the next time!
