Happy St. Francis de Sales Day

Wendy posted on this sometime last fall. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do about it, but I made a note on my calendar.  Lo and behold.  Today is the day.  St Francis de Sales, patron saint of writers and journalists.

I'm all for supporting writers, but the idea of a patron saint is foreign to me.  Interestingly, because he created a sign language to share the Word of God with a deaf man, he is also considered the patron saint of the deaf.  Note the story is he created an entire language to communicate with one deaf man. 

I don't remember what Wendy had in mind for today, and I fear a lack of response put her idea on the back burner.  I'd like to take a moment to note someone is looking out for us.  Hang in there.
