Suits, making the man or man in the making

Mark Cuban is owner of the Dallas Mavericks and he keeps a blog that I occasionally read, www.blogmaverick.com. He has some interesting posts and is quite an outspoken person in the NBA and other aspects of life. He won some Blog Award that drew me to his blog. I really like his current blog, and I think he is right on. Why are suits such an important part of our culutre and aren't there a million things people could spend their money on, like making a pledge to Church???

Tee Hee.

His last few paragraphs about what it takes to boost our confidence in this day and age is interesting. I never feel all that comfotable wearing a suit jacket, or a sport jacket, heck it has only been recently that I have gotten used to wearing t-shirts, the white ones sometimes known as "wife beaters". And that was so I didn't ruin my expensive clergy shirts. Anyway, I don't think I will be able to give up wearing nice clothes and what not, as, unlike Mr Cuban, I don't have millions of dollars to back up my claims, ah, I am being mean and stupid. Anyway, luckily I don't feel like a better person or a made man wearing my, and here is my big secret of the day, one single sport coat that goes with only two pairs of pants I own, one of which is ripped to shreds becasue it got caught on an arm on a chair and and ripped from the top of the pocket down the leg. The good thing is, the coat covers it up so I can still wear them when I need to.

My rambling of the day,
Be well,
A+

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 ...
