This past week has been pretty hard on everybody -- the world may be polarized but I think we can agree on how hard it is -- COVID 19 and uncertain election results. Psalm 27 kept being repeated in my head and I thought of a song that is now over 40 years old based on Psalm 27: Trust in God. Where else can we place our trust? Hope that this will bring comfort to you. https://youtu.be/sjCQFufFSOU

At this time of autumn, bush honeysuckle is peaking. Unfortunately, they are an invasive species and a future project will be ridding PRC of these invaders. Some think of the eradication as a type of cut and paste. You have to cut down to the main stem and then "paint" a sticky substance to kill the roots. By doing this, room is then made for our native plants to multiply--which is better for wildlife.

Pope Francis Elevates Archbishop Wilton Gregory to Cardinal This week, Pope Francis elevated Archbishop Wilton Gregory of the Archdiocese of Washington D.C. to the status of Cardinal. Gregory, the former bishop of Belleville, Illinois, will become the first Black bishop from the United States to be given this honor. Archbishop Jose Gomez, President of the USCCB, issued this statement following the appointment: "By naming Archbishop Wilton Gregory as a Cardinal, Pope Francis... is sending a powerful message of hope and inclusion to the Church in the United States. As a former president of our national bishops' conference, Archbishop Gregory displayed generous and principled leadership. The naming of the first African American cardinal from the United States gives us an opportunity to pause and offer thanks for the many gifts African American Catholics have given the Church. Please join me in praying for the continued ministry of Archbishop Gregory." See more
