I declare that due to all the weird crap and stuff going on, that April Fools’ Day is hereby cancelled. I think we all need a break from the foolishness going on these days from those in high offices. No need for pranks today.
Welcome, April 2025. Let’s see what you have in store for us. We can all hope for good things, can’t we?
I have sadly neglected the WordPress reader where I can connect with fellow bloggers. Lately I have been constantly doomscrolling on Threads and BlueSky. Those sites are proving to be a constant stream of bad news. My lack of attention here is something I do regret. Your blogs are important, and I should do better by you this wonderful community of creative authors and thinkers and contemplative writers.
Each February the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee holds its annual convention. This year it was held at the Episcopal School of Knoxville. This event is where delegates from its member churches gather to renew friendships, make connections, and conduct business. My wife and I with our friend Tammy and our priest Fr. Drew were in attendance to represent our parish, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga. It was good to get away overnight too. Here are a few snaps of our time there.
I finished (for now) renovations on my blog. I am using the 2015 Default WordPress theme. It features a sidebar on the left instead of the more common right side. With some coding and creativity, you can make a 10-year-old theme look current. I used the Firefox browser to make all my edits and to research ways of manipulating the fonts and colors. It’s good to change things up every now and then. Please check it out when you have a moment.
Friends, I am renovating the blog. Some stuff will look weird until I figure things out. Your patience and connection with me is appreciated. Thank you all very much.
