UMBER 45 Is upon me! Here’s 45 Gifts and one to grow on as suggestions… if you want to shop now, that is!

ER HOST Is moderately amused to find that someone who sucker-punched him in High School (in GA), producing a lovely bloody nose and a slight misalignment still visible grew up to look like this:

Something about true to type… and cyber stalking, I know: but I’ve not forgotten the name of anyone who was involved in [...]

ERGE RECENTLY WROTE Some very kind (tough but kind) things about me on his blog last week and then entered into a dialogue about those things in the comment section. Other people have asked me about the things he said: are they true?
First, thank you Serge. I’m honoured by your kindness. And by [...]

INNER Conversation at my house can often wander into topical areas that would fail to garner Miss Manners’ approval. This has become even more true with the arrival of a new baby: lactation, breast size, explosive diaper contents and resultant laughter often corner the market. Sometimes we can get into spontaneous group singing of Rock [...]

Christ is Risen!

CTUALLY, Yer Host is very sucky at maintaining a rule of prayer for any period of time (9-12 months is about average). For the last year I was using the Church of England’s Common Worship: Daily Prayer which I love. But it’s rather light… and the lectionary is choppy.
Right now I’m [...]

Christ is Risen!

VERY TIME I click on certain friends on my facebook profile, the show we have “28″ friends in common (or more…)
These are my friends from St Gregory of Nyssa Church in San Francisco.
Even after leaving them (in a very ungraceful fashion) and being welcomed home again, I can not express the [...]

You know, when people talk about “feeling supported” by prayer, I’ve never actually had an understanding of what they were talking about until now. Even [...]

Christ is Risen!

ACK Before there was an “earth day”, April 22nd was just another day until 1982… On April 22nd of 1982 I got off the school bus and walked across the lawn to my house. My neighbour Chris got off as well and walked to her house, behind mine. Unnoticed by [...]

Christ is Risen!

AD’S Heart Attack was one of those wake-up calls for the whole family. Providence saw fit that my Grandmother was vacationing in Alabama as well: the family was summoned together but it was an easier summoning than it could have been. Several impromptu reunions were scheduled. Dad’s not yet able [...]

S PART of my on-going vocational discernment, I’ve decided to look at clergy that I admire and pull out common traits. Actually, there’s a modicum of parallels even with some clergy I despise…
To use an over-abused word, all of ‘em are Mavericks. A maverick is an unbranded range animal, especially a motherless calf. It [...]
