While the rest of Lent focused on what we were &ldquo;giving up,&rdquo; we actually &ldquo;got&rdquo; something on Palm Sunday&mdash;a gift from heaven, as it were. Maybe I loved it because it tended to arrive just as spring began to push back winter. In my elementary years, we lived in Brunswick, Maine, where each sign of spring, however brief, was relished and noted: a waft of warm air, the return of the robins, the arrival of the forsythia, and Palm Sunday. Maybe because it signaled that Easter was near, which meant a new dress and hat. </p> <p><a href="http://www.episcopalschools.org/community/thecommons/?id=2533">Read More...</a></p> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheCommons/~3/NL6pfyzmxhU/ http://www.episcopalschools.org/community/thecommons/?id=2533 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.episcopalschools.org/community/thecommons/?id=2533 Following Dale <p class="blogDate">(03/13/2012)</p> <p>Ann Mellow, Associate Director</p> <p> <pv> Many of us were stunned and shattered by the last week&rsquo;s death of Dale Regan, head of school at Episcopal School of Jacksonville. </pv> </p> <p><a href="http://www.episcopalschools.org/community/thecommons/?id=2525">Read More...</a></p> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheCommons/~3/iQjfRRvnfHs/ http://www.episcopalschools.org/community/thecommons/?id=2525 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.episcopalschools.org/community/thecommons/?id=2525 The Issue Behind the Issue <p class="blogDate">(02/28/2012)</p> <p>The Rev.
