Can I suggest you head over to Akma’s blog to read his post about the death of Aaron Swartz. It is moving and thoughtful and expresses more eloquently than I can how I feel about this death.
Most people won’t know Aaron’s name. However we all get the benefit of his work.
As Akma says, “the churches have an intrinsic interest in communication, free communication, profligate communication.”
Hear, hear.
She had politics?
I believe she described herself as “a teetotal, mean-spirited, right-wing, narrow-minded, conservative Christian bigot.”
Any more questions, John?
(Apart from where one might find flesh coloured swimming trunks?)
Well, at least she was honest – and by now she knows she was wrong!
Not just the flesh colour but the little dark band on them which is – quite distracting.
I wondered whether the little dark band was sewn on in order to show, for the avoidance of doubt, that they were in fact wearing something.
I think we have to admit the little band does rather more than draw attention to their being to some degree dressed.
I think its a curious visual paradox. It makes them appear dressed on the one hand and quite undressed on the other.
Oh I see!This wasn’t really about Jane Rusell at all…
Pay attention, Mother. Pay attention.
The day begins with the discovery that someone (a member of the Orthodox church community who use the church sometimes) left a box of candles on a heater yesterday. The mess and stench greet me when I go into church at 0730 to get ready for the early service.
There was an outbreak of chiasmus in the Scottish Parliament yesterday, with this comment coming from David McLetchie: “Wouldn't it be ironic if … the criminals can be smokers but the smokers will become criminals?”Very clever. Of such stuff preachers are made and preachers make stuff of.
That last blog entry about the Election is an example of an apophatic blog entry. Not many of them about in the blogsphere.
I'd just like you to note how good I am being at not blogging anything about the Episcopal Election in this diocese.Lead us not into temptation.
