  1. Hey Alan,
    I love the video blogs (vlogs??). They are very effective at getting a message across to people like me that are internet ‘multi-taskers’ having several tabs and windows open at one time. I can let the video play and listen while I do (a couple) other things!
    Thanks for doing this.
    Colleen

    How do you come up with this stuff? It’s awesome! And ironic for me. I’m used to kneeling several times during the service at the Episcopal church. That’s one of the jokes about this faith- so much moving around you get good exercise during the service. Standing, kneeling, sitting, kneeling, standing, walking to the rail for communion. Prostrate is another word I’m used to, or genuflect. I hope I spelled those correctly. The way you use kneeling in this blog is great, and I love the prayer by St. Francis. This one spoke to me- so inspirational during lent! Thanks Alan.

    Emmy, creativity comes and goes. We knelt this past Sunday during communion. People came forward to kneel, pray, reflect, etc… Very meaningful.
