New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

P-3's, huh? know any of us goofball CT's?

[JenB]

Don't feel too bad. A large portion of history took place before my birth. ;-)

Now I have gone and done it! I have been going to the gym and working out on my lunch hour, everyday, so that way I can go straight home after work and it doesn't take anytime away from Jeric (my 6 year old). Then I eat lunch later at my desk (my boss is great, BTW). NOW I am gonna be thinking about warm pancakes while I workout today!

[msdrby]

I have been known to make waffle PBJ sandwiches. Yummy!

[Long Cut]

Knew one or two CT's going through P-Cola. Pretty good sorts, all.

P-3's are being replaced now. All-new airplane has just been picked as a replacement.

"I still need to try the almond pancakes, though!"

Mmmm--almond pancakes. . . :)

[JenB]

Really? I thought you hobnobbed with George Washington in primary school.

[Fedora]

"I'm fine as frog's hair, split 4 ways!"

LOL!--never heard that one before :)

[Long Cut]

CHECK IT OUT.

The old girl's being retired.

[msdrby]

LOL, it's about time. planes in good flying condition don't last forever.

Nah, that was Corin! ;)

[JenB]

Oh, right, your yearbook has Lincoln.

PCA - fairly conservative denomination. The Presbyterians you mostly hear about are PCUSA, they're liberal. There's the EPC, which I don't know much about. Fairly conservative but I think in theory they ordain women. There's OPC - Orthodox Presbyterians - which are a bit stricter than PCA and the closest thing we have to a sister denomination. And there's the RPC - Reformed Presbyterians - who are a little looser, I think, but still ok.

Oh, and the Cumberland Presbyterians are, I believe, Presbyterian in government only.

Wow, nice summary! I'm cutting and pasting this so I can look some of this up later. I like to be aware of such things. For a high school history assignment I wrote a paper touching on the history of early American Protestantism and its roots in English and Scotch-Irish churches, and I've been interested in the general subject ever since then. Which of the groups you mention are historically most directly related to Colonial-era Presbyterianism?

[Corin Stormhands]

Nah, that was Corin! ;)

Watch it now. You should be kind to yer elders.

No, thanks, I was "over there" once this month.
