Today’s find: COVID-19 Communion
The Psalmist had a message for me – for us – as we gathered in the pews this morning. Which, you’d have to agree, is quite a trick considering that the verses were written 2,500 years or so ago.

We had a lot of company, I discovered, when we hit the pavement the other evening for a post-dinner walk around the neighborhood.

Today’s find: Lava project
Maybe it was the shaky WiFi connection, but I’m not sure I ever convinced our grandkids (during a recent FaceTime chat} that Gramps was “planting a volcano” in the backyard.

Today’s find: Pandemic Pop-in
Generally, my wife Gerri has found better ways than I have…to make our pandemic “downtime” productive. Sorting through stuff we’ve stored for ages, for example. And yeah: turning all those trays of slide transparencies into digital files we might actually take the trouble to view once again.

Today’s find: Lamassu
I had a close encounter with Indiana Jones a few months back, and today I find it teaching me a bit of something about hope.
