Last week we got to enjoy one of the fringe benefits of being a business owner. Yes, you could call it a vacation. I avoid using the word because I actually planned this trip around some work that I had at Hilton Head Island. So while we were there enjoying the sights, I was also working several days building a custom range hood for an elite house there on the Island. Here is the proof, taken by a friendly stranger who just happened to be walking by as we were putting all the Lemmons together. The next picture is our first morning there, just before sunrise taken from the balcony of the house where we were staying. A new day is dawning.
It is funny how seeing a sunrise, has a way of reminding us of the potential each day holds, un- marred with mistakes or short words. It is fresh and new. We don't see sunrises at our home in Kentucky. We live between two steep ridges and to the east of us is another ridge, so by the time the sun shines in our "holler" it is mid morning. It was refreshing to see the sun crest over the ocean. The very day we were enjoying this sight our Bishop, Frederick Fick, was participating in the meeting of the Federation of Anglican Churches. A new day has dawned in that realm as well. The day is full of potential, for a unified Anglican province in America. The stage is set, the dawn is breaking. The day is fresh and new. How will the bishops of the several continuing Anglican jurisdictions, and the conservative Episcopalians meet this challenge? Will they be able to work together? Will they find the middle ground where orthodox Anglicans of every tradition, will be able to stand? Time will tell. For now, the day is still fresh, new, exciting and full of potential. May it be our continual prayer that a unified Anglican province would become a reality in our time.
