@Dean90815Dean @magawarriorMike When I was five years old, I got to be in the Peanut Gallery (just once; but the memory is clear after more than seven decades).

@flemingrut You are in my heart and my prayers as you place Dick in the care of the Savior who lives him and died for him. I have carried an image in my mind of when I first met Dick - and you - in 1995, and how lovingly he supported your ministry. May Christ’s peace be yours in abundance.

@malcolmguite I followed your suggestion and read it out loud. Deeply moving!

@Dean90815Dean @lucyshow11 I also keep the new one in my car. Deep down, I don’t trust the GPS. So having an analog backup is essential!

@flemingrut It’s a great gift that even in dementia, the BCP prayers are planted deeper than dementia itself. You and Dick are in my prayers every day.

[Ed Little @EdwardSLittleII]

@TaylorLoy Congratulations!

@flemingrut See you on BlueSky, Fleming!

@PotentiaEtActus My funeral nightmare: I conducted a “public service” funeral for a stranger named George. Every time I mentioned George in the homily or prayers, everyone squirmed; and afterward, no one would talk to me. It turned out that people knew the deceased as Bud. Nobody told me.

@FatherTim That practice, an introvert’s nightmare, was doubtless dreamed up by an extrovert. When I arrived in my former parish, I eliminated the practice my first Sunday. No one complained.

@flemingrut For those who’ve been caregivers for loved ones in decline, this is particularly heartbreaking to watch.

[Ed Little @EdwardSLittleII]

@flemingrut You and Dick are in my prayers every day. May Jesus sustain you during every one of those 36 hours.
