but a suggestion for office supplies:
Yasutomo Hi-Glide Gel Highlighter
Quite possibly the most amazing thing ever.
“Finally, a highlighter that glides smoothly on even the thinnest paper with no soaking, no bleeding through, no wrinkles and no smearing! The Hi-glider gel stick highlighter is available in three translucent colors, yellow, orange and pink and twists up to extend the tip for easy highlighting.”
It’s basically a waxy gel stick that leaves a decent but not obnoxious highlighting. Works rad on books, bible, etc. Doesn’t seem to make pages stick together or smear at all either.
And unlike other yuppie office supplies it’s a $1.50.
If you order one, and are already paying the shipping, they have a noah’s ark oragami set on sale, absolutely fantastic markers for making t-shirts that are cheaper than any I have been able to find (I hate doing fabric paint), and a lot of legitimate pens for only a buck or two.
plus not many people know about them, so you’d kind of be a hipster.
literally, for the love of God, if you are going to write about inclusiveness and moderation and conversation, can you please not mock, rail on, and stereotype people who fall on your definition of conservative, liberal, evangelical, or catholic.
you just sound like a hypocritical jerk.
thanks.
the other night, i had a dream that seminary was all paid for and taken care of. it was awesome, though probably not a prophecy. i dreamt that my cat, ehud the slayer, had secretly had millions of dollars and decided to pay for it.
then, when i woke up, he was biting me and i jerked and launched him off the bed.
i flew out of bed, looked around and panicked for about 30 seconds because i needed to apologize.
yeah, i’m totally comfortable with things.
305 days.
it seems concerning to me, on several levels, that the church sees infinitely more adult confirmations and receptions than it does adult baptisms.
i am long overdue for a substantive update.
but alas, all things are either not updatable or are not even vaguely interesting to even me.
home from convention.
yesterday was a dark day.
but only because purdue lost.
the presiding bishop was at convention and that was a bit rad.
outside of that, the convention was, as some said, “blissfully uneventful.”
i have that same, well quite small hope, for the week and year to come.
i care infinitely more about the purdue/notre dame game than diocesan convention.
my blog has been private for awhile.
now i would imagine no one reads it.
which is convenient.
i am at diocesan convention. beyond that, i have nothing to update.
this relates to nothing substantive to the way of faith, the church, etc.
i was walking the thunderdog yesterday and making a vain attempt at completing my sermon in my head.
as we are about three blocks from my house, a small girl comes running up. my dog hates small girls that run up (as we all should). as the girl got, closer, however, she yelled “Oh Cute Pup—— AHHHHHHHHHHH!” Screamed. And ran away. For a moment, I thought, alas, a small child that learned they should not run up and get in the face of a strange dog.
Then, my very cute puppy looks up at me and wiggles…. with a bird leg hanging out of her mouth. I shout “No” (I have no idea why) and the thunderdog promptly drops a small little bird out of her mouth watches it twitch and then nips it a few times and growls. (As a good fan of Pat Robertson, she believes on kicking things when they are down.) Needless to say, this only further traumatized the little girl, who I am sure would proclaim if she new the phrase “oh the brutality.” Instead she screamed, “scary puppy!”
Parents, teach your kids better adjectives.
And to stay away from strange puppies.
I have no idea when she caught the bird or how long it was in her mouth.
it will be entitled “too old for slip and slides… too young for 6 hour meetings on a saturday.”
pentecost. no, not the season we burn heretics even though there is the fire and people with diverse beliefs in the icon. unfortunate for some and fortunate for others.
