"We don't need to re-invent ourselves, but stay with the literature, the hymns, the worship that's been prayed down through the centuries," she said. "There's such a hunger for tradition and rootedness."

Just as long as you don't take seriously what tradition has to say about sexual morality!

Humor: The Anglican Blue (by Huber)

Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

[wagglebee]

During times of turmoil and rifts in church life, Spangler said she stays grounded with prayer and the faith that God's love will prevail.

"Sometimes I don't know what it'll look like, but I know it's true and I can trust that," she said.

For her it may not be as pleasant as she thinks.

Not important. After all, she wants to learn to kayak. Obviously a cool dude-er--person. Isn't the homosexual candidate in California also a kayaker? What is up wid dis?

Nothing, I hope!! I've got two kayaks on racks in the garage...

[LiteKeeper]

No mention of the Bible. Hmmm?

I take it this is Episcopalian? An out female homosexual dean, whatever a dean is?

My wife was on my back for kayaks for three years. She says the speed boat is too fast. I told her no 'cause they are nothing more than speed bumps on the lake and generally operated by tree huggers and limp wrists. Finally I relented and got her one. Four days later I got one...and have developed a strange affinity for the color pink!

...nor Orthodox!

I confess I did some sea kayaking myself once upon a time. It sure was good exercise. My kids loved it too.

Well, ours are blue... but we really enjoy them. There's nothing quite like a quiet paddle about the lake. Haven't done an Eskimo roll since '89 or so, though... then again, haven't needed to. *\;-)

Have been considering taking a local baidarka construction class. (The baidarkas, Aleutian kayaks, are the most advanced of the native kayaks -- amazingly strong and light, and the most seaworthy.)

" Well, ours are blue... but we really enjoy them. There's nothing quite like a quiet paddle about the lake."

Well, ours are yellow and a sort of orange/yellow, which leaves me wondering where this affinity for pink comes from.

Truth be told, I love it! Every morning during the summer at the cottage (where there is no infernal computer!), I go out at 5:30 for a two mile paddle. Great exercise, then coffee, a shower and off to the office. I must say that by the middle of last summer, I hadn't felt so good in 20 years! I can't wait for ice out!

By the way, here's a picture of part of the southeast cove of our pond from the west side, in the Fall obviously.

[sionnsar]

Here's mine. (Well, this particular one is not mine, but it looks just like it.)

It's not as easy for me to go out, though. It's a mile down and around the lake to the community beach, and I have to use the wife's car because this boat is rather a bit longer than my car, not to mention its cab!

[sionnsar]

Oops... the cove picture does not show.

" It's a mile down and around the lake to the community beach,..."

Community beach?! NOKD, my friend, NOKD! I hear the people who frequent such places buy their own silver!

Showing up fine on mine (firefox).
