Sad News from the Dioces of Arkansas

I just read this in my e-mail this evening.

From the Dioces of Arkansas:

The Rev. Peggy Bosmyer
With sadness we report that our friend and colleague, Peggy Bosmyer, Vicar and Canon Missioner of St. Margaret's, Little Rock, died early this morning after a long illness. She was at home with her family. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, December 17, 2008, at 11:00 a.m. at Trinity Cathedral, Little Rock.

Please keep Peggy's husband, Dennis Campbell and her children, Michael, Larnie, Hannah and Caitlin in your thoughts and prayers.
May Peggy's soul, and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

My prayers go out to Dennis and his family as well tonight. Rest in peace, and may the Holy Spirit comfort her family during this time of sorrow...

Amen

Rules of engagement

Rule of Engagement... :)
Before we go any further here, I want to lay down some ground rules. As long as everyone follows these, we're golden. If you don't you will be zapped.
1. Remain civil. Mamma always says "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!" If you find yourself getting angry by something I say, or something someone else posts, step back, breathe, say a prayer, then continue.
2. This is a Christian blog, so no profanity. I'll even zap my own posts if they break this rule.
3. All viewpoints are welcome, however see rule #1. I welcome all to post as they feel lead by the Spirit, but I will not tolerate rudeness or abuse in any form. Other than these three simple rules, Welcome Aboard!
