Thirteen years ago, on April 30, 2007 I began this blog. There was no photo accompaniment, not much in design or colors. Just a little text and a really humble beginning. Can't believe it's been that long, it feels sort of like 6-7 years, at most. Here's the very first entry of over 1,300 posts since. Geeessssh!
Stained-Glass Windows
We are all still reeling from the "official" opening of the renovated chapel this weekend. This morning's Morning Praise was breathtaking. The no-longer-carpeted floor, now ceramic tiled....and the no-longer acoustically-tiled ceiling, now Pennsylvania natural wood have transformed the sounds of the chant and music. It is overwhelming. The 16 floor to ceiling stained-glass windows still make up the north and south walls. I'm taking a seat on the north side, facing south, so that I have a view of the morning sun through the windows and their reflections on the tiles.
One of the most popular Benedictine mottoes fits the day: That in all things may God be glorified.
