The visit to St. Luke’s in Hawkinsville shows that sometimes the small good things amount to something big. It’s Joyce ready to have a hymn sing of tunes from the 1770s before church and as folks arrive they join in with more and more voices…#episcopal ⚓️

“For this is the reason why we are not entirely at ease in heart and soul: because we seek rest here in these things which are so small and in which there is no rest, and do not know our God who is almighty, all wise, all good; for he is true rest. 1/2
