Mary Adamski: From here to eternity
Getting to church early on All Souls’ Day is a tradition of mine. I hope for a few moments in solitude and quiet to focus on the book. Not the liturgy of the day, but the Book of Dead, the ledger that will be out near the altar all month, a congregational prayer list open […]

Manaolana |Makana’s helpful hints: It’s simple … not easy
I like to hear about people’s aspirations. It gives me a good gauge on where their hearts are. I’ve had many aspirations myself, but now only one.
