Feast of St Nicholas - 2012

National Museum of Medieval History, Korca Albania

Happy Feast of St Nicholas to you.Did you find anything in your shoes this morning? If you left them outside where we are, you'd have found water. Nothing like more rain.

On this Feast Day of the patron saint of sailors and voyagers, children and marriageable maidens, paupers, and others,  you might think about ways you can secretly help out others, following in his example. The St. Nicholas Center has lots of history and resources. If nothing else, the sailing community has always been a friendly compassionate bunch who helps one another out. I've been on the receiving end, and I continue to try and pay it forward, too. Hmmm, what to do this year?

So here's to Saint Nicholas!

May Saint Nick be at your tiller!

Blessed Be,

Joel
