[Magdalen] Heather Cook

[Lynn Ronkainen]

from my albeit limited annual travel around the US to Episcopalian 
seminaries and to a growing number of Lutheran, Methodist and Episcopal 
annual conventions for my business, I can report that the mores and habits 
of church people vary GREATLY everywhere in these three denominations.... 
and within each of them as well.... I also know from encountering 'church 
folk' from altar guild ladies up to rectors/pastors/whatever they now may 
call themselves, that many churches and dioceses, districts etc,  have 
particular habits and rituals or seemingly outright unusual 'ways' that they 
think are the norm EVERYWHERE...   Ya gotta smile... and I do.

Lynn, who sometimes feels like a trusted interloper into this realm of 
churchy stuff...

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
