A Bright Spot for a Winter's Day -- Monday Meet'n'Greet

And I would like to personally welcome one of my favorite bloggers in the entire blogosphere to the RevGalBlogPals -- Guy Kent, better known as the Questing Parson.

The Parson write beautiful prose -- always thought provoking -- and has just launched his new website so y'all go by and say "hey!"
