My first real day back in the office was a mixed success-got really winded after 3 hours. I‘m cutting my office hours way back during Lent while I’m in cardiac rehab. For Lent I guess I’m giving up my own sense of my indispensability & trusting that church will happen without me.

Coach Dean Smith is personally responsible, in part, for my being an Episcopalian and not a Southern Baptist. Here’s how. In the 60’s, my parents were members at Olin T. Binkley Baptist Church in Chapel Hill. The pastor was the legendary Robert Seymour.
