caged dames is better than cats...
Trish's show opened last night. The house was full to o'er flowing. They had to bring in extra chairs for people to sit down. Incredible. It is a bawdy sometimes raunchy romp through the film noir stage. Everyone should see it. Not that I am biased in any way, but it is really funny. The performances are strong. So, take the time to go see it if you are in the neighborhood.
In other news, I have another day of meeting and visiting and preparing for the weekend retreat. It's been a very full week. Trish and I have been out until after midnight for the show and up early for work. And yesterday we discovered that someone in Mexico spent over $1,500 in some Walmart or something using my credit card number. Our bank is very understanding and acted quickly. We should get our money back in a week or so. Joy. That was fun.
So, has anyone thought about the lectionary readings for this Sunday? Care to share your deep insights into God's word?

I have promised myself to stick with the Gospel following excursions in the Davidic narrative and the epistle of James. I read about James and John coming up to Jesus asking to be his right and left hand men and feel that I have read the story a hundred times. I read the commentaries and the pontificating about how the disciples do not get either Jesus or the Jesus-program. The implication is always that I or we get it. I think I want to put a stop there. They probably do not get it. But neither do we, not really. This will bring me treachorously close to Jesus qua Roshach test.
