What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • White Smoke

    Love and prayers to friends in the Roman Catholic church on the election of the new pope. It was lovely to see the people in Rome greet him.

    The airwaves are going to be full of speculation about what he will be like and full of things he has said in the past. The truth is, there is no knowing whether how he has been will be how he will be. It just doesn’t always work like that. Things happen.

    It is interesting to think about there being a Jesuit pope. Like many an Anglican I’ve received quite a lot from the Jesuits – in my case, retreats, spiritual direction, methods of prayer, friendship and massage. I’ve found most Jesuits I’ve encountered to be intelligent, funny and purposeful. They also are formed in quite a distinctive way spiritually. This pope is likely to think things through quite differently to some popes just because of that. It will be fascinating to see how it all pans out.

    He appeared to be a calm man and that will surely be needed. It was good to see someone call the people gathered in Rome to pray as his first act. He seemed to call us all to pray, Roman Catholics and others alike. Let us hope that he is indeed the great bridge builder (pontifex maximus).

    We’ll be praying for him. Just as he requested.

    And this is all in Maryhill? There will be great wailing and gnashing of teeth in Newton Mearns and Giffnock when the news gets out..

      Quail here too. Quail eggs from Waitrose though, not yet Lidl.

    West Enders eat moose. South Siders eat Wholefoods. I know where I’d rather be.

      I’m not at all sure that any shop selling a few nuts and bits and bobs of fresh veg on either side of the river can be as impressive as Moose in Maryhill.

    Does the Maryhill Lidl also offer Canadian Lobster? Not that I am bragging but the needy of the Rubarb Triangle need some joy in their lives and our Lidl is meeting this need

    Yes, lobster is on offer in Maryhill.

    I choose not to crow about lobster for it comes from the sea and consequently should not be eaten.

      The kashrut/OT problem is the lack of fins and scales, not the sea per se.

    Tilly’s fury at the election knows no bounds. She has taken to hissing at all visitors to the house. This started with her hissing at known Liberal Democrats, but I fear that it has now progressed to voters from all parties. She will be glad when things quieten down a bit next week. Meanwhile, people…

  • Sermon – 24 April 2005

    Jesus says, ?I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no-one comes to the Father except through me?. Very directly then, I want to address the question of what this verse might mean. There are after all, a number of very ugly interpretations of this verse. You do not need to go very far…

    Wallace, the largest spider downstairs in the Rectory was sighted for the first time in a long while today. Fortunately it was me who saw him peeking out from underneath the piano and not Tilly. For the record, Wallace appears to like jazz. Tilly appears to like spiders.

    Simony (trying to buy religious favours or power for money) is still a sin.
