A friend’s old dog had to be put down, so before the vet visit, we took him to the beach, his favorite place, and fed him cheeseburgers, his favorite snack. When we say goodbye to someone we love, it never feels like enough. *This is a NakedPastor original print: No Goodbye Is Good Enough

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree. Ate it.
Yesterday I was honoured to be made an honorary canon of Gloucester Cathedral. The bishop described the role as an ambassador between the diocese & the cathedral. I was touched that both former & current students came to support me along with my CGH team Alison & Nigel, Bp Humphrey & good friends.
