We now know why those dang blasted birds sing in the summer. I have a bird phobia. This evening when I was going in the side door of church the dang blasted bird who nests there every year tried to attack me. I swear she did. I started screaming. I went into the sacristy and apologized to Fr. Peter, our Interim. He confessed the same phobia. I started back into the church and the bird attempted to attack me again.

Part Three: Fr. Peter Channeling Obi Wan Tonight

A NEW HOPE

“…This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times... before the Empire….”"

My faith is rather simplistic. Sometimes the Lord does strange things to make us stop and look and learn. I don’t mind admitting I’ve been feeling down about the state of the world and the way things were going. I’ve almost felt defeated as a Christian ... more »

GOD IS IN CHARGE

Today when I did my movie Thursday Thirteen I put in what I think is the most perfect clip in all of movie history. Judah Ben Hur (Charlton Heston at his most – sigh) has just been consigned to the galleys as a slave. It is Mesilla’s intention for his old friend to die of thirst along the trek. The problem is Mesilla’s best laid plans were ruined by a humble carpenter who was all about love.

A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE?

Something has happened this week. I only hope and pray John McCain has not peaked too soon. While Barack & Hil were battling for the nomination, Big Mac was acting Presidential on his tour of Iraq, Israel, and the UK. I am throwing some strange and assorted links for you as I take off for the day. It’s Maundy Thursday and I don’t know if I am on Alter Guild duty this evening. I don’t like this service – way too much humility for me. I am also including a link to Mad Irish Man’s... more »
