• A Hymn for the Feast of the Transfiguration


    Hey! Let me know you
    You’re all that matters to me
    Hey! Let me show you
    You’re all that matters to me
    Hey! Let me love you
    You’re all that matters to me (Oh come on)
    Hey! So come on yeah
    See the light on your face
    Let it shine, just let it shine
    Shine all your light over me
    Shine!

    I like the painting very much, but, forgive me for my ignorance , what is this “explains much” of which you speak? Ohh, and the literal minded in me says – even as a baby – as the child of Monica of Hippo – he was still Augustine of Hippo.

With Calvin a close third. I’m doomed. It’s predestined.

An incident with a prominent member of the clergy and a staple nearly resulted in blood sacrifice at the altar, but this was averted by some nifty serving. A plaster was obtained from the first aid…
