The Columbarium of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church where the ashes of deceased members are placed.
Today is All-Saints Sunday which is observed in some Christian traditions such as the Episcopal Church and for me personally at St. Peters. It’s a time to remember those who have died in the previous year. Remembering these souls who have blessed us in this life is an honorable thing to do. It reminds believers that follow Jesus that their lives are not forgotten. It is good to remember and reflect upon the contributions that our saints have made to make the world a better place.
Tomorrow standard time returns to clocks in a lot of places. Be sure to turn your clocks back one hour before turning in. You get an extra hour of sleep. Not sure I want an “extra hour” of 2020 though.
The best game to win is the game of life and you can score big points by helping others. Wearing a mask, donating blood, giving to a food bank, volunteering for a local charity, recycling, advocating for the less fortunate, all of it can be good for you and for others. Do these things because it will make you a winner in the eyes of many and a hero too.
National First Responders Day on October 28 recognizes the heroic men and women who make it their business to take immediate action when disaster strikes. Think Firefighters, police, paramedics, and more who get the call in times of an emergency. These brave people are found in every community everywhere. It’s not hard to understand and appreciate the dangerous and challenging work they do.
I got my COVID19 test results back on Tuesday and all is well as my results were negative for the virus. I am glad to be free of the virus although I do have the COVID19 antibodies. Getting the test was a good thing to do to be sure. COVID19 is nothing to mess with and it is still a part of our reality.
