Even since before I got sick I've been wondering where I wanted the blog to go. I'm no gourmet cook. I'm not a homeschool technique pioneer (or even faithful follower). I'm not a photojournalist. I'm no theologian. I'm not going to post on my own personal spiritual struggles because there's nothing edifying about that. I'm … Continue reading Playing Dead

Blessings
How nice it is to be upright...and not dizzy. How nice it is to sip some tea...and not regret that I did. How nice it is to remember that the bishop is coming this afternoon...and not wish he weren't (no disrespect meant). How nice it is to get up and look around the house...and find … Continue reading Blessings
Public Service Announcement
If you are sick, stay home. Do not go to church. Do not go to work. Do not (unless it is an emergency) go shopping. Please. Everyone will thank you. And yes, in case anyone is wondering, two four more are now sick...
Comfort Food: Meatloaf
Boy, meatloaf sure does have a bad reputation. And, truth be told, if you think of a tough, overcooked loaf doused in ketchup, then frankly it deserves it. I happen not to like ketchup.

It's true that the Episcopal church has congregations like this … Continue reading You can lead a horse to water…
You’ll find him under "C", for "Cat".
Or "I", for "Incorrigible". Unless he has checked himself out...
Fasting and Love
I can't believe next Sunday is Zacchaeus Sunday! We're rolling rapidly toward Lent. I love this story, but usually I have to struggle against using anything as an excuse not to fast. On Fasting and Love Fasting is a great thing but love is even greater. If by fasting demons are cast out, passions tamed, … Continue reading Fasting and Love
The Force
Ok, I'm sure everyone and their cousin has watched this by now, but just in case you haven't, I didn't want you to be left out. This one of the most awesome commercials I've ever seen:
Our Share in the Winter Storm

"Weather Blunderground" or "The Great Winter Hyperbole of 2011"*
I just checked Weather Underground to see where the squall line was (while the rest of the country gets snow, we get thunderstorms and potentially tornadoes) and something funny caught my eye: "Get updates on the Great Blizzard of 2011 by listening to..." The Great Blizzard of 2011? I'm sure there will be a blizzard … Continue reading "Weather Blunderground" or "The Great Winter Hyperbole of 2011"*
