If I were traveling to Southern France......

I would definitely visit this place! I found it on a visit to Terry's awesome blog. I especially like the frescoes and artifacts. Beautiful.

I really like this almost-ancient style. I think the 10th Century was a good one for Christian religious art.

Check it out!

Two Things

For one thing, the oldest images of Jesus' Apostles have apparently been found in Rome during an excavation in Santa Tecla's catacomb [don't you want to know who St Tecla was? I sure do!]

In other news, I just met with the vestry of my church (like a non-profit board of directors) who OK'd my "discernment process" to become a lay chaplain. This is GREAT news! I will meet with a committee (to be named) to work through my "calling". I am very excited to be taking this first step. You all heard it here first!

Thank you, all, for the support and encouragement. I couldn't do it without you!

P.S. I am really going to work hard to blog more, I promise. Hopefully I'll have more news shortly.
