"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Okay, last one. Well, for today, anyway.
I love Eddie Izzard. Can you tell?
No, he's not gay. As he himself says, "I fancy girls. I also fancy their shoes, is all."
Sometimes, it's just important to have a laugh and a half at the end of the day is all.
Anyone who takes their religion too seriously deserves exactly what they get.
And, I suppose, anyone who takes their religion too lightly has also recieved their reward.
But, the one who loves Jesus and can have a bit of an outrageous laugh at organized religion in general and the Anglican Church in particular, now it is s/he who has come very near to the Realm of God.
Somebody say, "Amen."

Love it. The problem is that I get a stich in my side and then I can't breath right for a few minutes
