National Public Radio ran a story last November about Hungry Planet: What the World Eats by Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio. It depicts what thirty families in twenty-four countries actually ate in a real, live week. The NPR website has pictures of five of these, and four are described in detail, with prices. While I have […]
Philocrites, in a bit of humor, asked his readers “purely for fun, folks, let’s name fictional characters — from novels, films, plays, TV shows, etc. — who are (or should be!) Unitarians, Universalists, or UUs.”
Sure.
Hosea is still wordy, and dull. The sections keep getting longer. This reads like a fragment of a thin sermon that should have been long forgotten. Still, I push on towards the end of this chapter.
OK, last time and then I’ll let it be – Does anyone use a six-ring memo book, akin the the Franklin Covey date book Compact size? Please comment, ministers and layfolk alike. I want to know if some of what I do is worth writing about.
I first met Stentor Danielson when he attended worship with my former parish. He’s moved away, but I still enjoy his blog, Debitage. Why? He makes me think. Just when I’ve gotten “too practical” for my own good, there are these philosophical — and especially the epistomological ones — postings that keep me from waltzing […]
The Express, the Washington Post’s free sibling for straphangers and office worker types has mashed together their info and Google maps to give us lots of helpful destination info near subway stations. Not perfect — it doesn’t put exits in the right places; there’s no subway stop in the middle of Dupont Circle — but […]
Oof. I thought I’d never get through these three sections. And dear ol’ Hosea gets rather wordy.
Two of the larger suppliers of candles and lamp oil for churches have unionized workforces.
Emkay Candles (Muench-Kreuzer Candle Co.)
Cathedral Candles
Since I also like sole proprietorships and cooperatives, add them in the comments if you know of some, particularly if they make candles in pure beeswax or soywax. […]
This is Alonzo Ames Miner, one of the Universalist bigshots of the nineteenth century, and was the second president of Tufts. I think it is from a collection of sermons I have in storage, c. 1856, but don’t quote me on that date. But that would make Miner about forty-one, which looks right. Tribute at Tufts, […]
Recently, I mentioned I ordered a pair of khaki slacks, a pair of jeans and two pairs of boxer briefs from Union House, an outfit in Minnesota that specializes in US- and union-made clothing.
The first piece of good news is that the order was correctly filled and everything fits. The carton, for those who care […]
