Light a lava lamp for me and other unspoken prayers
Monday, June 6th, 2005I’m not sure the Lava Lamp at Emergingchurch.info is pre-post-modern or post-pre-modern, but it is good for literally seconds of pray-fo-tainment.
File it under “proof of concept for non-verbal prayer” except, whoops!, you’re bidden to type your prayers in. I’ve been waiting to advise you kinesthetic folk — line up, single file, no shoving but movement […]
I feel safer and saner in DC already
Monday, June 6th, 2005A quickie this morning. I take a lot of trouble to be the best Christian — Christian as a whole part of my life, and presenting my faith in the best way — and want to keep fellowship with as many Christians as I can bear. (That can be a trick.) There are days, however, […]
Tonys watch
Sunday, June 5th, 2005As we know, the Tony Awards are the Gay Superbowl. Rooting for fellow Columbia County, Georgia-survivor Sutton Foster. Wondering what this Piazza show was. Noting that Hugh was great, Aretha wasn’t, and what’s the deal with Nathan’s hair?
But did anyone else get a gay vibe from the Procrit ad? Admittedly subtle, but a […]
Current blog reading

Apartment Therapy, a light style blog.
Tree Hugger, a sometimes grim blog about environmental sustainable […]
Murder in the Philippines echoes history
Friday, June 3rd, 2005Chuck Currie writes about the horrible murder of a conference minister of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines, the Rev. Edison Lapuz. If there is a goverment connection, then let their action fall back up on them. In any case, it seems a terrible loss to his people.
Regular readers might feel a tug […]
The heart of the Unitarian Universalist Association
Thursday, June 2nd, 2005A while ago, I asked readers to make comments about how the Unitarian Universalist Association could right it after hypothetical insolvency. What would survive and what would not? Thanks to those who commented.
I think this kind of question is helpful in understanding what strengths our current system has and how these can be supported […]
The Amnesty report and administration response
Wednesday, June 1st, 2005I was having an ordinary conversation about a federally-mandated program related to the work of Day Job with another Day Job Employee when our respective frustration about the President, the Vice President and their responses to the Amnesty International report led us to a shared catharsis. Who do they think they are? And do they […]
