It's a good place for me to be. They do lots of ceremony, like bringing in the gifts (nice and catholic), standing for the Gospel and ringing bells. Also they do, nice Protestant things like a children's sermon and trying to be more interactive (asking someone in the congregation to read a bible verse).
The pastor talked about being a "sprawling, transcendental, postmodern" preacher. And reading an author who was a "sprawling, transcendental, postmodern" writer, who wrote the book Velvet Elvis. It's a book that I bought last Spring, at Annual Conference, but never got around to reading.
So, I took it off the shelf and made it my Lent do-something-more-thing.

Apparently, Jeremy Kalin has a fiance (thanks MCR for pointing me to his blog). Guess Jessica, Julia and I can cross him off of our list of eligible Democrats at the Capitol.
- Country music radio in the gas station
- Getting the steering wheel wave on the hiway
- Needing to use the hi-beams at night
- Driving out into the boonies, where you can see all of the stars, to eat fish caught on a frozen lake and home grown squash and listen and call in to community radio with people who love me for no good reason.
- Parking spaces and no traffic
- Bringing home Mom's tomato sauce, rhubarb sauce, and corn from last summer's garden.
That's why I drive four hours each way for one night.
