conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

wednesday in pink pj's

Drinking coffee wearig pink pj bottoms. Life is good.

Well, yesterday's post brought a little traffic to the site. That is good. What is better is the lingering conversation. Jennifer found herself in the thick of it on a couple of sites. Who is Amy Welborn anyway? The only way to get men in the church is to give them Board positions. That is why the 12 disciples were men. It was the only way Jesus could keep them interested. Ah, the illusion of control...Instead, like Susie, we should be cultivating boldness.

So, here I sit in front of the television watching the news. Explosions in Saudi Arabia, tornadoes in Utica, IL and some guy who can do cool tricks with a basketball. Welcome to America, brothers and sisters. We are going to see some rain today. That will be nice. I plan on getting some writing done. Pray that I do.

Tonight I officiate evensong for what will probably be the last time. Wow. I have not done it often at Seabury. I like to let the people who have to do this for the rest of their careers have the slots. I enjoy it, but it is also a novelty to sing a liturgy when you are Baptist. So, of course, I plan on convincing whatever church I end up in to start and evensong or maybe even matins service. ;-)

More importantly...

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): John Goldhammer is a psychotherapist who
specializes in working with patients' dreams. Over the course of 25
years, he has concluded that there is one sure way to free yourself from a
recurring nightmare: Stop running away from the monster that's chasing
you. The moment you're able to change your behavior in the dream -- to
turn and face the monster, maybe even embrace it or give it a gift -- the
haunting will end; you'll never have the nightmare again. I'd like you to
apply this approach in your waking life, Aquarius: Turn and face the
uncomfortable truth that's plaguing you. Maybe even express your love
and gratitude for it.

Off to drink more coffee. Have a good day, y'all!
