May Bob's soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace and rise in glory.<BR/><BR/>I will remember him tomorrow in prayer and dedicate the 8 AM Eucharist to his soul.<BR/><BR/>May you and your family receive the consolation of your faith.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-66955518086038005242008-11-29T23:25:00.000-05:002008-11-29T23:25:00.000-05:00On a side note:My Grandfather passed into Larger L...On a side note:<BR/><BR/>My Grandfather passed into Larger Life on Monday. My family is going to go through the weird ritual of visitation tomorrow after Church and I know we will need your prayers, and those of your gentle readers.<BR/><BR/>His name was Robert, but every one (including I'm sure his creator) calls him "Bob."Frair Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03855036304956508405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-60510527399193305862008-11-29T22:51:00.000-05:002008-11-29T22:51:00.000-05:00Cussedness.

'Gutter snipes.' Gutter snipes is perfect. Even better than 'Bottom feeders' which describes them perfectly, but it's filled with an image that already freaks them out.<BR/><BR/>The Gang that Couldn't Shoot Strait is still doing a whole mess of damage to our beloved church and I just wish they would do whatever it is they are going to do and put themselves out of the misery they keep insisting we share with them.<BR/><BR/>You and Ms. Conroy will have to start 'talking' to one another. You are kindred spirits.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-84458086530898503972008-11-29T21:30:00.000-05:002008-11-29T21:30:00.000-05:00I've got two of the gutter snipes calling me "illi...I've got two of the gutter snipes calling me "illiterate" over on my blog. This in response to a 5 page essay on the Tracterians. (BTW- The visit Ms Conroy paid to my little corner of the Internets was noted by me when I looked this AM.)<BR/><BR/>As I said, it's not Calvinism, it's Arminianism with a healthy dose of Donatism and plain old cussedness. To this add a heap of mendacity, hypocrisy and cowardliness and you have our Gang That Can't Shoot Strait.Frair Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03855036304956508405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-76101403184119562082008-11-29T16:29:00.000-05:002008-11-29T16:29:00.000-05:00Well, I've just put on my asbestos pumps and kevla...Well, I've just put on my asbestos pumps and kevlar vest and checked out with The Bullies on Viagra might have been thankful for. I see they are arguing "inside" and "outside" strategy.<BR/><BR/>The hits just keep coming with those guys - and when they don't have a liberal or a progressive to hit on, they swing at themselves.<BR/><BR/>You know, I'm happy to keep the porch light on for anyone who has left or is thinking about leaving, but I just want these barking dogs to do SOMETHING besides annoy the rest of us who don't want to bark anymore - and are very, very weary of all their barking.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-49801637711948691822008-11-29T12:49:00.000-05:002008-11-29T12:49:00.000-05:00Recently here in Illinois we have had the spectacl...Recently here in Illinois we have had the spectacle of the holier-than-god-dares-be in Quincy stalking off to claim they are in Southern Cone. The numbers are interesting. During his ultra-lace-holy time as ordinary, Bp. Akerman saw attendance and membership drop by about 60%. Of course, that is because some gay guy was ordained half a continent away. Yeah, sure.<BR/><BR/>I am so tired. If you are dead set of going of to be holy, do it! Take your gay self-hating bishops (we know who they are closet or not) and go. If you take the keys, we will litigate, if you just walk we will wave.<BR/><BR/>As Cromwell once said, "Go! In the name of God! Go and leave us in peace!"<BR/><BR/>I do not want to loose a single conservative to the non-global holy. But if they insist, so be it. If they stay, let's honor their guts and have a fight or two.<BR/><BR/>FWIW<BR/>jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-91936842985080185962008-11-29T11:43:00.000-05:002008-11-29T11:43:00.000-05:00Wow!!

I am typing this from beneath my desk. <BR/><BR/>In our house we call people who posit their brand of Christianity is best, while practicing various isms, like Sexism, [mysogyny and Heterosexism}--who perceive themselves to be First Class Citizens at the expense of other *Apostates {one of my favorite Words} Christian Supremacists. Usually we [in my household] are using that to refer to the people who want to bring about a American Theocracy based on their particular Biblical Exegesis. I dont know if that fits here or not. <BR/><BR/>Your description of the South cracked me up. <BR/><BR/>One of the biggest issues I see against Homosexuals and Christians is that they think that Homosexuality is all about sex. Whenever you say the words, people are visualizing how one gets their rocks off, rather than imagining issues like identity, love, family, or any of the other things that go into a full and happy life. Same Gender Couples is better than Same Sex Couples. It removes the word Sex. Sex is what these people are indeed obsessed with. Hence their Mysogyny {Feminists are Sex Fiends who cannot be controlled and so are Gay People}. <BR/><BR/>It is like a messy divorce. Its most difficult to take the high ground in fights like this. Because its so personal and so petty and complicated. <BR/><BR/>Good luck to you all in finding your way through this difficult time. <BR/><BR/>Dont Hide your Light Behind an Ism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
