Candles
I decorated two beeswax candles for the chrismation of a sweet couple tomorrow morning. In several months we'll celebrate their wedding, one of three anticipated weddings in our parish this coming year! Glory to God!

I finished the last three censers last night, popping them in their wrapping around midnight. They'll go to … Continue reading Advent
