So, it had been my hope to provide you with several essays leading up to the Pentecost celebration about what the holiday means, the symbolism involved in its celebrations, and the themes associated with it. I should have guessed that between the end of the semester and moving, it’d be a bit much for me. [...]

I wrote my celebration report last Sunday, but through a design flaw in my bloggy software and a little inattention on my part, it was completely eaten. I didn’t feel that bad… they aren’t that interesting to write, so I assume they must be pretty boring reading. It’s more an experiment in accountability than a [...] Stop the presses. After the day I just had, I cannot do another happy Sheep & Wool blog today. Last night, we left our dungeon master’s house around midnight, as is our usual Monday night routine. The scene had faded to black in the midst of an epic battle, carried on to the sounds of thunder [...] After last week’s CR#2, I realized that my own Book of Common Prayer has abbreviated day names ready to go! So here I go: Easter 3 Monday: This one is easy. April 23rd is hubsband’s birthday, which included much preparation. The diversion was a fancy dinner: steamer clams with linguini and a fun vermouth sauce. Then [...] In Anglican calendars and what not, this past week was what we call “the week of the first Sunday after Easter.” I have a certain fondness for descriptivist nomenclature, though it gets a bit clunky. Monday after the first Sunday after Easter: D&D is always celebratory. Friends, drinks, interactive fiction, and general ridiculousness abound. If you [...] To all my brothers and sisters of the East: Happy Easter! Christos Anesti! Χριστός Ανέστη! Христос воскрес! This Lent, Holy Week, and Easter have been a particularly cruciform journey for me. It seems fitting then – almost too fitting to sully with words – that the second Easter pattern is a baby blanket, designed after a [...] So most people know that Lent is about self-discipline. Giving things up and fasting are the most well known disciplines, but there are others like silence and confession. Stuff like this is called “disciplines of abstinence,” for obvious reasons. You’re not doing things, either because you shouldn’t be doing them, or because taking a break [...] Today is my birthday, and I am wearing black. You’ve probably noticed this already, but I tend to like to think about suffering. I do not feel strange or maudlin about this, because I think most American Christians don’t think about it enough. In fact, I’ve been thinking about how one would cultivate a church centered [...] Everyone loves Robert Frost’s famous poem, so much so that to quote it would seem cliche. This project hijacks this old-school meme, just a little bit. The concept is simple, and doesn’t bear much explaining beyond the pattern description. These cables are meandering roads that come together to form the icthus fish – another cliche [...] One of the complications of blog writing is that, if you’re doing things interesting enough to blog about, it’s difficult to also find time to blog about it. I have so many ideas and pictures in the pipeline that it’s difficult to turn them into coherent posts. Especially with half my pictures trapped on my [...] |
