Our bittersweet nest



The above video, if it works, is a video of the the nest that was built by a Robin in our front yard. We were all excited to see the development of the little family, but alas, something got into the nest and destroyed all the eggs, well, all but one, but the mother decided not to return and eventually the third egg disappeared as well.

Cool new videos from our new place...

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...

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 ...

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+
