Well I am traveling myself again, and tonight I am in Columbus, Ohio. I have to be at a national conference tomorrow for Anglican 4th Day (see Cursillo, Walk to Emmaus, The Great Banquet) for which I am one of the speakers. And I am concerned that this will be probably the longest talk I have done in years, particularly since my stroke. AND…..I am still working on the talk. No worries, eh? And of course no stress either.

Ouch ouch ouch……
Twenty-five years ago in seminary, I began a sermon about Jonah with the words, “I am not a prophet, and I have never been swallowed by a fish.” And these are words that my partner in ministry, Father Kelly Irish laughed at then, and still brings up today.
The road to hell……
I took Amanda to work, and then returned there to take her to the airport today. She is heading to Iowa, which makes me nervous because it is supposed to be a there and back trip…..they never are.
Dodging the Rainbow Warrior……..
This is another one of those pictures that was taken the day before, although Ben did make another trip to the pool today. Yesterday it was with his mom, and I took the picture when I stopped by. Today he went to the pool with his sister. He is big into the pool.
Hanging with bikers….
Okay, it is not what you probably thought from the title, but in all honesty it is quite true. Ben got a big-boy bike (with training wheels) tonight and it was a pretty big thing.
Knick Knack Paddy Whack…….
It appears as if I am a day behind, but that is really not so. I just have had more to write about on each of the past couple of days and I didn’t want it to be all disconnected.
Visiting family…….
One of the bonuses of being at Danny’s yesterday was being able to see Bernard. Bernard is Danny’s Golden Retriever, and a pup from one of our last litters.
Bang Bang…..
Today we went down for a clergy meeting in Nashville, and I had the great pleasure of taking Scotty along with me. Scotty does not get to go to many of my meetings, but since we were moving a refrigerator as well, I thought why not take a strapping 18 year old guy to left everything? It turned out to be a good decision.
For a friend…..
For those of you who know me, it would obviously take a lot for me to be in ANY KIND of St. Louis Cardinal attire, but my daughter’s good friend and team mate Lindsey Brown came to stay with us this weekend and she was bearing gifts. And this gift was a St. Louis Cardinals t-shirt.
Hanging with the Captain……
Sure, I know this is suspicious, particularly since I was hanging with Ben this afternoon. But why does everyone’s mind drift to Captain Morgan when they hear this??? Just good branding?
