One Cannot Have Too Large a Party

"Such schemes as these are nothing without numbers." So said Mr. Weston to Emma, who could hardly agree. For she preferred the original plan, that two or three more of the chosen only were to be admitted to join them.

About this Blog

Welcome to all who enter here! This blog is my public attempt at daily prayer and reflection, as well as a venue for my photography.

Why is this blog is called "One Cannot Have Too Large a Party?" Please see my initial post "The Party Line." I hope it will help you play along. At least I hope it will shed light on my thinking.

I am glad to have folks reading and praying along with me. Comments and feedback are truly welcome.

About Me

Penelopepiscopal: Extroverted priest: loves parties, people and animals, chocolate, music, family, books, especially the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer; seeks God and the Holy in the midst of this messy life; wishes always to see with wondering eyes and hear with marveling ears and to go to the beach whenever possible. Amen.
