X-Mas 2013

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Snow

The first snowfall of the season turns our door step into something from a winter wonderland.  

Lay Eucharistic Minister

Well it's official, I was recommended and confirmed  by the Bishop of New York to act as a minister for Eucharistic visits. 

Victory

After a long day of legal jousting in court, we're victorious.   Now the well deserved nap. 

Theology on Tap

So on Wednesday the 20th we held our first gathering of Theology on Tap.  Despite the best planning the attendance was light to say the least, but it was terrific fellowship and we were able to lay the groundwork for the event and formalize the choosing of topics.  I think this is going to end up being a terrific success given time.  As with all good and long lasting things, it takes time to nurture and grow.  Here's to a great start. 

Trinity Museum

New instillation of Quantum Art at Trinity Museun. 

Vaudevillians

Back stage with Jinkx Monsoon and Major Scales. 

A Time To Kill

John Grisham's thrilling legal drama on Broadway.   Great show!

Dr Jecklyl and Mr Hyde

It's a little past the holiday, but one of the great things I did on Jslloween was to see the original Jeckyl and Hyde move with organ accompaniment in the sanctuary of a Trinity Church.  Complete with candelabras.  Not to be missed. 

A Hug

One day, someone's going to hug you so tight. That all your broken pieces will stick back together.

Change Me

Change Me

--Ruth C.'s Prayer

Change me, God,

Please change me.

Though I cringe,

Kick,

Resist and resent.

Pay no attention to me whatsoever.

When I run to hide

Drag me out of my safe little shelter.

Change me totally.

Whatever it takes.

However long You must work at the job.

Change me – and save me

From spiritual self-destruction.

So Excited, Halloween is almost here

Looking forward to the Trinity Haunted Halloween. 

Look at me!

I love you Phoebe

Mondays

I don't know why I hate Mondays. I think it has something to do with the way people behave on this day.  Most people become a lot less productive as the week goes on and for some reason believe its ok to makeup for there own shortcomings by getting all up in your face with the work they neglected from the prior week.
