Wow! How has it been this long? You are such a great pastor. I remember when you visited my son in the hospital, and he wasn’t even a parishioner, but someone from another nearby parish who came to youth group. I love reading what you have to say, and considering how you think. So glad you publish
This is so relevant even to lay people (and non-church people), although I recognize that a clergyperson witnesses all that life and death and transition in multiple and intensified ways that others of us don't necessarily (unless we're in a medical or hospice-related field, which I'm not). I like the broad/long view you have developed over the years about appreciating everything from the baptisms to the old-age events and transitions.
