Approaching an Idiot
ByhenryI saw a meme that read: Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or an idiot for any direction. My problem is that while I can readily identify a bull on the rare occasion when I see one, and horses are distinctive, idiots are ubiquitous and come in so many…
My Personality Type
ByhenryI don’t actually get personal on this blog all that often, but what is more personal than a personality type? In any case, you can blame it all on that mastermind Joel, who published his type (INTJ), thus causing me to fall into temptation, and try to remember mine. I didn’t remember it until I…
How David Ker Made Me Read Jim West

Hmm. But will my dog ever make it through confirmation? 🙂
I’m sure I can find an Anglican bishop who will confirm him! As for ordination of dogs or canine bishops, I wonder which province will take that step first, or perhaps someone thinks it has been taken already – and I don’t mean to refer to a possible interpretation of Deuteronomy 23:18 and Revelation 22:15.
Things are worse than I thought. At Lambeth it looks like the newly consecrated bishops will be not dogs but rabbits!
The rabbit has the appropriate facial expression for a bishop. 🙂
