The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...That none have seen but we alone.

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!

So, Myranda went around tellin' people all over Germany that she was Jewish. She justifies this little lie by the heirs by adoption scripture. She is outgoing and strikes up conversations with any and everybody. Said she liked starting conversations with people on trains and in restaurants there and then tellin' 'em she was Jewish and there to trace her roots.

*rolling eyes*

My kids is twisted! I love it. LOL

Yawn... checkin' in before bed. That was pretty awesome, attending a communion service with 3000 people. All the local elders showed up to help serve. The music was good. But I figured out why they call Presbyterians "Frozen Chosen". I've never seen such a crowd of people singing without deviating from a perfectly upright, motionless position.

And so white! There were a few who weren't - I saw some Japanese pastors - but 95% balding white men. It was incredible anyway. I feel very moved. And now I'm going to bed.

HOLYSMOKES!!! What the heck do you *do* with that thing? Looks like some sort of portable radiation detector or something. Or maybe a long range bug-zapper of some kind.

hope it's a good one. :-)

Sadly, it wasn't. It's a no-go. Boy, am I ever glad I'm going on vacation. I definitely need to get my mind off of things.

You need to come to church just once with me and Rose. Just once. You don't have to do it again.

Hmmm... that's odd. It is like a wooden banana in really so few ways...

LOL! Thanks for the much-needed laugh! It's only made better because I can actually "hear" you saying it.

Um... I might die, you know. Heart attack. At my age.

Actually I used to go to your sort of church, WN - you know where I'd love to go sometime? A black church, somewhere where they've got those great musical harmonies. I love singing in choir but we're so stinkin' white sometimes, it's scary.

Oh, and nowhere that they handle snakes. I don't do snakes. Right? ;-)

I wouldn't use anything like that either... unless of course I needed to weld some aluminum or something. Maybe it would work for that. :-)

The only good snake is a dead snake.

Any church that is all one ethnicity disturbs me. I like more variety in my life! My friends are varied in their backgrounds, therefore my church family should reflect that.... or vice versa.... or something like that.

ROFL! 3000 people for communion is pretty awesome--been to a few services that size, it's quite an experience!

My church represents the ethnicity of the immediate area... although a couple dozen miles to the east, we have very large Indian communities, but mostly they attend Hindu temples, not Presbyterian churches. Pittsburgh is not a very ethnic place. Or rather, they think "Italian" and "Polish" qualify as minorities.

Of course, that doesn't explain General Assembly.

Yawn. I really am going to bed.
