Welcome to the newly designed World of Your Making blog. I’ve decided to leave the original version of this blog gently behind. After five years with TypePad, I felt I needed a new challenge and the WordPress Thesis design has opened new possibilities for me (as well as a steep learning curve). I plan to incorporate some of my writing from the past into this new iteration of the blog, and in the near future, the old site which you can still find here, will be parked for good.
Thesis offers a great deal more customization than Typepad. I’ve enjoyed playing with the multi-media box and rotating images you see on the right column. The navigation menu at the top of the page allows for quick access to separate pages of the blog and I’ve been exploring the myriad number of “plug-ins” and “widgets” (sidebar accessories) that can extend the functionality of your blog to do almost anything you can imagine. All very new to me.
The most recent posts I’ve imported from my previous blog recount the gathering of the Compass Rose Society at Canterbury Cathedral which you can see below. In the days ahead I’ll be focusing on what I’m doing and learning in my parish ministry at Church of the Holy Comforter, the Annual Council of the Diocese of Virginia, and some new guitar work I’ve been doing over the last several months.
I’m glad you’ve found your way to the new site. Leave a comment if you’d like.

Congratulations, Rick+, on the new blog. Looking forward to more music and pictures, and seeing what you can make of all this technology.
I love the new blog Dad! I agree with your decision to use WordPress, it has some pretty cool features. I am enjoying the multi-media box. Great picture of you and Mom at Lindisfarne.
Hi Rick, your new blog looks great!
I’ve been using wordpress for almost 3 years and I like it a lot. I hope you enjoy exploring its features. As you mentioned, there are a great many plugins you can use to enhance your blog.
I love Wordpress. Hope you enjoy it.
I’m having trouble adding your RSS feed for some reason, but I hope it stabilizes soon.
Hi Helen, good to hear from you, I admire the design you have for your blog “Conversation at the Edge.” It was great to read about your son Ben and his considerable talent on violin and piano – go Ben!
Peace,
Rick+
Dear Rick,
I am very glad to have found your new site!
It’s been too long since we have communicated; we, John and I, are now living in Egypt, and worshipping in the broad faith community that is All Saints Cathedral. The Lord has graciously allowed us to return, as aged as we are, to the Middle East that we love!
Your ministry gives me hope in this fractured church. Bless you.
Peace,
Pat
Yea! You put up Eleanor’s snowy photo — or one similar. It makes me so homesick to see it.
Great blog! (Always was.) Would you mind writing me back with who your ISP is? I’m about to start one of my own — using WordPress.
