hard working

While some us look at fireflies in our gardens at night (one of natures gifts that continues to fascinate me, too), others among us are hard at work this summer.

Graciously, seminarians that blog are sharing with us part of their formation or development as priests.

Two that have been particularly interesting this summer is Jane Ellen, a Hoosier blogger/Seabury student who has been working with a mission in Northern Indiana and Karen, a California blogger/Church Divinity School of the Pacific student who is doing her student internship at a hospital this summer.

Both are often quite articulate and honest in their reporting, inspiring, blunt and funny. God's blessings on them and their hard work this summer.

Along these lines, I've been meaning to link to Professor AKMA's letter to new incoming students at Seabury that he posted on his blog. AKMA may be the equivalent of James Brown in the world of Anglican blogging in that he's the hardest working among us. I never had a professor write such a thing at the beginning of my own educational endeavors. Blogs are indeed wonderful gifts, too, along with fireflies, as they reach out to all kinds of places, and readers. I'm glad he shared it with the rest of us.
