It has come to our attention that people need more than the depressing news, articles, and updates that dominate the headlines. That’s why we are here. After a lifetime of experience in places large and small, far and wide, Richard brings fun, reflection, and stories about life and living in places as disparate as the rural South to urban Moscow. So subscribe, comment, and look out most days for updates from the Home Office in Trinity, NC, for unexpected stories from Richard Bryant, who likes to write in the first and third person. If you enjoy what you read, please like and comment. Keep this going! So, I invite you, friends, family, former parishioners, and readers to join this excursion.

Never miss an update—every new post is sent directly to your email. For a spam-free, ad-free reading experience, plus audio and community features, get the Substack app.
