...comes earlier than usual this week - time being in short supply over the next few days. I've chosen a long-standing member of my blogroll, Mike F of The Mercy Blog, Franciscan tertiary and contemplative. His was one of the blogs I stumbled across early on in my own vocational wanderings and I've watched it grow and develop over the years. At risk of totally embarrassing him, IMHO it's one of the top-league Francisan blogs (and yes, I know classing blogs must definitely run contrary to the Francisan ethos!); however, I'm referring to quality and integrity here. He's been brave enough to share some of the joys and struggles of his journey honestly, often at great depth, yet with a humble simplicity that's an inspiration to others. He's also a great encourager.
Mike, ongoing wishes and prayers for you as your journey takes a new turn. I hope we'll still be able to read your reflections in future, even if you're not able to blog as frequently as before.
Peace and all good.
