graduation pictures

Dave posted his pictures. They are great. Here are two...the first is a picture of myself and Trish. The other is me with the Bishop. Some people, including this here bishop, want him to be my bishop. I like Wendel well enough. Actually, I love the guy to death. I am just not completely certain that I need a bishop. Others may disagree. A tight leash is a good thing from time to time. We baptists have no collar and thus need no leash. Hmmm...that is an ecclesial model for you.

It was a fantasic weekend. Seeing Ricgh again...the first time in quite a while, was frigging great. It was nice of him to come to church Sunday and see me in action (I did the communion thing - made the mojo). That was a treat. Another surprise was my father taking communion at the graduation service. That was the first time since 1975, people. Wow.

It was certainly great to stop by Cghicago and cghat with you, and stop by your cghurcgh.

I look forward to seeing you again soonish, hopefully in July!

Does your branch o' the Baptists have bishops? If so, why?

Ricgh, you are a funny man.

Megan: no bishops. None. But the bishop in the photo is an agressive recruiter of clergy. He hits me up/teases me whenever we meet. His is a generous sense of humor. So, if I were to become Episcopalian, then i would like this man to be my bishop. This would entail moving to Detroit or some such neverland, so chances are slim for many many reasons...principally, I am not switching denominations.

You could also move to Ann Arbor if he was your bishop. Or Jackson. Just adding possibilities for you...

You are so consistant, Susie.

no collar=un holy traversing...look at the sbc, for example. maybe there's room for a collar fit just for you?!!!
