Sign of Jonah?

The Sign of Jonah has fallen victim to paucity of human and financial resources, as well as to apathy in the face of these challenges. Frank is to be commended for his attempt to resurrect it; however, these same adversaries have caused him to announce resignation on 16 Sep. Perhaps, this is premature. Frank's e-mail on the subject led to the forming of this blog, which should essentially eliminate the need for significant human and financial resources. All articles and inspirational tidbits that were formerly submitted for Sign of Jonah publication can be posted to the blog. Sermons could be posted every week. Frank's interesting book reviews could be posted individually as soon as available. Links to interesting sites are welcome. While the St. Luke's online calendar is best for a comprehensive list of scheduled events, new items are more efficiently disseminated on the blog. Color pictures and videos can be posted. Spirited discourse, enemy of apathy, could be waged.

For those that miss a more traditional form of Sign of Jonah, we should consider Jan Gardner's suggestion in her Aug 25th comment to Frank's Aug 16 blog, Jonah - yes or no. Jan suggests a quarterly hardcopy issue composed of selected items copied from the blog. She also commented that those items could then be cleared from the blog; however, that is unnecessary. Google provides the space for free, and those would be the better items. The issue could be just a collection of cut-and-paste items. No editing, reformatting, or retyping would be required. Only those requesting such copies need receive them, and as much as possible, distribution would be at church to reduce mailing costs.
