“If you want something done, give it to a busy person.” This old adage has been attributed to Benjamin Franklin and others. It’s not the busy-ness itself that makes a person a good choice for a task; it is usually that being busy is a trait of a “do-er” – someone who gets things done.
At Ascension, one busy do-er is The Rev. Deacon Rebecca Saager, our Curate and Reading Camp Director for almost ten years. Many who know her infectious smile also know that she is a multi-tasking organizer who gets things done.
Rebecca and her husband Donald have lived on a small farm outside of Stamping Ground, Kentucky, for thirty years. They have two sons and two granddaughters. In 2012, Rebecca retired from her position as an eighth-grade science teacher at Scott County Middle School.
"Being raised in upstate New York, yet spending my college years at Morehead State University in eastern Kentucky, has developed my unique outlook on life. After four years in training, I was ordained as a deacon in the Diocese of Lexington on June 6, 2011. My personal ministry involves helping people develop a more spiritual reverence for God's creation and creatures. Within our Episcopal diocese, I have a passion for Reading Camp and St. Agnes House. I am excited to be joining the folks at Ascension as we continue our walk together on the path of life."
