And speaking of Ben...

When I was in Seminary in Berkeley Ca, there was only one other person who was under the age of 60. Ben and I were the youngest members of the class, everyone else was very much older than we were which was somedays a whole heck of a lot of fun and others not so fun. (60 is a bit of an exaggeration, but almost true...)

Anyway, Ben keeps a blog on Blogger as well, in fact he is the one that brought me over here and got me inspired to do this blogging thing. So thanks to Ben it has been tons of fun doing this whole thing. Ben recently wrote a very funny blog that made me laugh out loud and harder than I have in some time. Being a priest is definitely a VERY HARD THING!!! Click here for the post.

Be well,
A+

A--

Was my spouse in a different class from yours? Cause I'm pretty sure he would have been in that "under 60" group. Unless there's something he's not telling me. . .

Dave was under 60??? Naw, he was definitely over 60, it was the balding head that should have tipped you off!

Aron,

No, David's doing a session of diocesan camp (so he will definitely be an old man after six days with the kids). I'll be holding down the fort here at St. C's and keeping an eye on the cats.

I was at the whole thing in '03 as an ECW delegate, so half of me is sad not to go, and half of me is relieved.

Dave is doing well in his new job. But we do need to come north and visit one of these days.

Beautiful Impartiality. Easter Day Sermon

“Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him. If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.” So spoke Sojourner Truth in December 1851, just 5 years before this parish was founded, at a Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio. She began her brief and eloquent speech with the words, “Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter.” There has been a lot of racket in our world, in our Church in our lives. Something is out of kilter that is for sure. Each year during Holy Week, all the clergy in the Diocese are invited to attend a service of the reaffirmation of our ...

An interesting Observation

I was sitting on the pew out in front of the Church on 4th Avenue waiting for my lovely and beloved wife to pick me up. Our other car was in the shop and due to rushed-ness we had to just drop me off at Church today. Anyway, I was sitting out there for about 15 minutes waiting for Sara to come and pick me up and I noticed something very odd. I didn't keep a number tally in my head, but I bet half of the people walking toward me crossed the street, not in the crosswalk at the corner, but at some other point before arriving at where I was sitting. Now, I was wearing my collar and sitting in the pew reading a book. The pew has been used frequently I have noticed by many passersby, I even saw a young man take off one of the round parts of the pew, it had kind of fallen off, so no longer attached, but just stare at it and look it over as he walked on. So the pew has not been an intimidating thing, it was definitely me and my collar, and no, I didn't smell, because many others w...

Having Faith

Image
Today I want to talk a little bit about having faith, particularly the faith we will all need this summer, particularly the faith we will need from June 9th to July 9th... Faith is kind of like a little caterpillar, in the hands of a child who has never seen a caterpillar. I love this picutre of Eliot, and mostly needed an excuse to post it, but I also needed to tell folks about the faith that will be required this summer. After a couple of days off the United States Men's National Team will be leaving for Germany for the World Cup . The World Cup is the greatest sporting event in the world. Greater than the Super Bowl, greater than the World Series and definitely greater than the NBA Finals. It is one of the only sporting events that lives up to its name as a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! The US Men will be heading over to Germany to take on the world, literally, their first game, June 12th, is against the Czech Republic, second they take on mighty Italy on June 17th and finally they ...
