Now here is a thing of beauty, even if it doesn’t look like it at first glance: our partners at the Rosebud Episcopal Mission in South Dakota are making hay with a new logsplitter, thanks to their longtime friends at Trinity Church, Southport, Connecticut. This firewood will keep people warm enough to get through the long, bitter winter to come and keep someone on the Lakota reservation from freezing to death. Hauling, splitting and delivering wood may not be most people’s ideas of missionary work, but that’s exactly what it is; the way to teach Jesus is by showing him. (The Rev. Lauren R. Stanley)
