LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

I’m in the City of Angels this week—not (only) because it’s about as far from the Republican convention as I can get, but because my heart is here year-round: son, daughter-in-law, grandson and all the rest of my earthly family, which includes the Dodgers and many of my Panda sisters. I’m sure I’ll find a few things to blog about, the twaddling here being at all times egregious, but it will be a slow week. That applies to comments, too: I’m monitoring, but not as frequently. Your wisdom may seem to be falling into the cyber abyss, but fear (and hit resend 3 times) not. I’ll get to everything eventually, and you keep me thinking.

Meanwhile, you are in my prayers—which have the long-missed lilt of Spanish and Tagalog this week—and I ask you to keep me in yours.
