Or in this case, post. Oy. The above was supposed to go with "The Cost of Discipleship." I DO hope that's obvious.

I'm going to surround it with a little respectful silence for the time being, except to share a memory that it immediately evoked...<BR/><BR/>I attended an all-male late-night service at a church in New York at least three decades ago. It must have been Catholic or one of the other old sacramentally-based churches, Lutheran or Episcopal. The only thing I remember about it is reciting the Nicene creed by candlelight. That gorgeous affirmation of faith that was, absolutely, all about <I>we</I>, voices solemnly joined, timeless, somehow clandestine, apart, one of the holiest moments I've ever experienced.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for reminding me.<BR/><BR/>(word verification was 'ports')<BR/><BR/>more...Joe Jubinvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489419756833657839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550180966906196055.post-3026655867120758762009-02-22T15:47:00.000-05:002009-02-22T15:47:00.000-05:00Radley can certainly hit the nail on the head.Radley can certainly hit the nail on the head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550180966906196055.post-78472943281341216642009-02-21T21:45:00.000-05:002009-02-21T21:45:00.000-05:00gadget73156: I agree he's pretty wonderful, thoug...gadget73156: I agree he's pretty wonderful, though I am still committed to bringing him around on the half of his politics that we're still in disagreement about. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Anon: I agree the world needs more folks who are willing to blur the lines of ideology and think independently. And I don't doubt I made an impression -- I was quite the fish out of water at EHHS! Just not sure what sort of impression it was, lol!<BR/><BR/>Patrick: Oh, Radley's got a great sense of humor all right. He linked to my shout-out on his blog, right under a link about sex toys, tee hee. If you start reading Radley's work, you'll hardly agree with him on everything, but he'll make you think. He has a funny series on his blog called "I blame gay marriage" you might enjoy. xoxMartahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14494813731003889158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550180966906196055.post-8485981788555940512009-02-20T17:34:00.000-05:002009-02-20T17:34:00.000-05:00Can't wait to check this writer out.

For some reason I keep thinking of the glee grandparents feel when their children are faced with their own troublesome off-spring. I think you're entitled to a bit of fun at Radley's expense. Sounds like he might even agree.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556860299477514075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550180966906196055.post-50657182405303814892009-02-20T15:15:00.000-05:002009-02-20T15:15:00.000-05:00The world needs more Radley Balko's today.

And take a little credit - I would daresay you made an impression on young Radley and certainly challenged him - something that I find is lacking in our education system today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550180966906196055.post-68713827058741511202009-02-20T12:49:00.000-05:002009-02-20T12:49:00.000-05:00Radley is my HERO!
