Happy St. Stephen's Day

Well, I'm resting and refreshing and hope to be back with you here again soon. When I begin posting again regularly at Transforming Sermons early next month, I hope to include both the usual sampling of links and a few short essays of my own.

Thanks to those brothers and sisters who made comments both here and in person. Here's hoping all twelve days of Christmas are blessed for you and your family (if you're not familiar with the true 12 days of Christmas or with St. Stephen's Day [and most in the U.S., at least, are not], you can read more here and here).
