tidings ~ !

yesterday was the 200th birthday anniversary of Robert E. Lee.

go check out some stories from father jim at Dappled Things, who writes nobly every year about this tragic hero of old virginia ~ and much more eloquently than i could ever hope.

hap-B-day uncle robert.



My trust
is in the mercy and wisdom
of a kind Providence,
who ordereth all things
for our good.
