Food for Thought...

The following is Beazie Larned's wonderful reflection this past Sunday on What St. Francis Means to Me. You can also listen at right. Thank you, Beazie. We are blessed by you ...

Michael and I moved to Stamford in 1972. It was in 1974, when our older daughter was born, that we searched for an Episcopal church with a Sunday School and young families. We

discovered St Francis – and it was conveniently close by. Right away, St Francis made us feel welcomed. Meg was christened by Father Dresser and thus began our journey with St. Francis.

Both Michael’s and my mother died when we were in our late teens and we had no grandma’s nor support nearby, but St Francis had a babysitting system that I joined. Two years later, a weekly play group was formed with Meg and 3 St. Francis toddlers all the same age.

Link of the Week

On this Veteran's Day, we pause to give thanks to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedoms, those who continue to serve that we may enjoy the fruits of liberty, and our responsibility to support them and each other that our experiment in democracy might thrive. Ocean Vuong's Brief but Spectacular Moment encapsulates aspects of life and death and the connection we have with those closest to us. We remember them as well as we remember . . .

Going Deeper

An interesting and important deep dive that we normally do not take. Worth the listen . . . .
