All Saints’ Day
The day some honor all those deemed “saints” by the church. Maybe that’s even small “c” church; all groups have those model folks others are inspired to emulate. Good idea to learn from those who’ve gone before us, those who have set a good example, who have showed us the way. Those who live in …
