moving my blog

After three-plus years of Blogger, I decided it was time for something new.  Besides, this little redesign I did a few months back didn't turn out too prettily.

In a few days, this page will automatically redirect you to my new blog site -- clbeyer.wordpress.com -- but I wanted to give a heads-up to any of you who subscribe to my feed rather than visiting my blog page.

tradition

In the church I grew up in, there was this beautiful time of fellowship after the Communion service, when all the members – all 150 or so of them – would lace their way through the pews of the church and greet every other person there. The line would start at the front, with the ministers, and every bench would play “follow the leader” until every person had been greeted by everyone else. It was so beautiful because no one could avoid anyone else. They were – at least for that evening – one body in social unity.
