After several years of hosting Heaven, Firenze is taking a well deserved break. We all thank her for her service to the Ship, and wish her well in her freedom.

Taking over in Heaven, Trudy has agreed to move from Kerygmania.

Thank you, Firenze, for all you've done for The Ship. Enjoy your well-deserved respite. But please don't be a stranger - your keen observations and wisdom will be missed!

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

I doubt you'll be enjoying your retirement now.

Here in Newfoundland we'd say, "I knows you're not enjoying your retirement, now."

Sincerely hoping we'll still see Firenze popping in to post about the boards. Trudy...you are a champion! Thanks for stepping over to keep everything scrumptiously sweet in the heavenly realms.
