I had one job to do: gently score the tops of the sourdough loaves prior to baking.
Sigh.

Turns out, I’ve been breathing ancient air all week. And here I thought it was just the oppressive humidity.

Today’s find: Deadwood
We took a short hike at Castlewood the other day, and by the end I found myself wandering – in a bit of wonder – around Colossae.

Today’s find: Bulwark
Now here’s something I hadn’t heard in a LONG time: We sang ‘A Mighty Fortress’ as our recessional song at Mass today. I’ve long appreciated the lyrical imagery of the hymn, made all the more effective by its majestic melody.
Having just returned from one of the world’s most castellated regions, though, I couldn’t help but be struck by the irony of Martin Luther’s words.

Experiencing hospitality, Brazilian style.
