A thank you to our sponsors:  Meghan Ashley Styling

Salve Big Pulpit readers,

My orthoscopic shoulder surgery has been a success thus far.  Right now my right arm will remain in a sling for an additional three weeks and the pain is endurable.

Thank you all that have donated to Little Vatican, the umbrella organization that operates Big Pulpit.  I am well short of our target of $2,000 per month of subscribers.  I only need 400 of our readers to subscribe for $5 per month in order to meet this goal.  One-time donations are also accepted and appreciated!

Thank you for being faithful and loyal readers of Big Pulpit!

In Jesus, Mary, & Joseph,

Tito Edwards
Editor of Big Pulpit
President of Little Vatican
