"Fart"--I'm not kidding

 I'm a Public Radio Junkie.

I listen all day.

Yesterday, "Audacious" did an hour program on Farting.

I kid you not.

Kyone Wolfe, the host, talked with people about farts.

Some were professional farters--who made money from it.

Then they talked to people about which animals fart.

Fascinating stuff.

But an hour about farting?

But I enjoyed it....!

no sermon this week

 Against my better judgment, we're having an outdoor Eucharist on Sunday.

If it is as hot tomorrow as it is today, I'll be lucky to avoid a heat stroke.

There's a tent but that won't help much.

The service is to celebrate Summer.

I've been asked to preach about Summer and warmth.

Don't know if I can pull it off, but I'm going to 'wing it' and keep it short to save lives....

Jeperody

 Bern and I watch Jeperodey (which I can't spell!) every night.

A woman who had won 15 days in a row lost tonight.

I was upset.

I really liked her.

I'll keep watching. but my interest has lagged....

Paper

 Paper was the greatest invention ever!

So many helpful things are made of paper: tissues, bathroom paper, paper towels, calendars, newspapers, typing paper and my favorite of all--books.

I read at least 5 books a week--mostly mysteries. But there is also the Bible and Episcopal Prayer Books.

I find a lot of comfort, hope and wonder in books.

Thank God for paper....

work

I'm off this Sunday and the Sunday after next Sunday.

By contract, I only work on three Sundays a month and this month has five Sundays.

I like time off, but I don't go to church.

I've told people the reason I still work at 77 is if I didn't I'd never darken a church door.

That's pretty much true.

I don't know why, but I don't go to church as a participant--only as a priest.

Probably bad of me, but the way it is.

Wasn't quite as hot

I wore a long sleeve shirt all day.

Not as hot as tomorrow will be.

I don't care.

I love the heat.

It's the cold that gets to me.

I'm getting old.

Cold and 'old' don't do well together.

Bible Study

 Today we started on the Book of Acts.

I don't like much about Acts.

I believe even less about it.

But we began with the Holy Spirit descending on the disciples.

It was a good session.

Lots of thoughts and questions.

And we begin with communion--very short.

A good hour to be at.
