I am thrilled that my blog has become a lively center for discussion.  Andy’s comment this post which includes thoughts on the words of “Be Thou My Vision” and the ensuing discussion deserves a separate post.  Now I feel like a real blogger!

I wrote here how I’d been singing “thy victory won” the whole time and not “my victory” and shared my thoughts on the theology of both.  The mention of that verse again in my last update was a continuation of my thoughts on the subject.

For those of you on the edge of your seats as to whether the first reeds I’ve made in half a year turned out or not, I got a 50% success rate, which was all that was necessary: one good new read to play on and one old one to back me up.  It’s good to know I still have it in me.  The real reason I’m writing a short update is so that the bit of slander I smeared on BCF can be righted.  I said we don’t pray much in church, but apparently, there’s been an unusual trend of less corporate prayer and I’ve managed to miss those Sundays where it was done.  In any case, we prayed as a body yesterday and I think Mary was the only one who noticed I can’t shake the Episcopalian from me: I knelt.  Stephan (who led) also did the Episcopalian in me good by giving a blessing and a sending into the world at the end rather than the typical “you are dismissed” or “have a good afternoon.”  Thanks Stephan!

Indian food and interesting discussions; Frisbee and lying in the grass.  Sunday’s are good!  We missed Jimmy, though.
