I going to be away from here for awhile. New addition coming for Emily and me, and my dad has two books to work on. A student he had years ago is now the editor of a literary magazine. I think the magazine is pretty good because I have seen it in our library at school. One of the books will be called "TEN." a list of 100 tens good and bad as he has seen it over the last 8 decades. The other book will be called BLOG SPORTS or BLOG WARS. The best of his blogs. One should come out next May, the other at the end of next summer.
For now good bye to the weidos,freaks and ner'do'wells of the Crazy one. I 'll be back.
I need to add that we all know about our "Mole." He's not very clever.

You Already Have Your Heavenly Gift!
Well, I'm waiting for an answer to yesterdays post.
So today we take up a little Christian history. At age 24 I don't know too much about it, but let me briefly paraphrase what, one of my dad's favorite writers wrote.
Why do we have way over a thousand Christian denominations (churches).? Apparently this growth of Christianity started very early St.. Paul talks about disagreements in the church at Corinth. And then came the Donatists(sp)?.And its been dividing ever since then. Why? Knox's analysis. In any church a minority begins to think they are a bit , at least, closer to God ("The close friends of God") and more in touch with the Holy Ghost than the others. As this minority finds the majority persisting in their ways, the minority feels the need to assert their way by forming what soon becomes a new church (denomination).
And we are lucky enough to see this playing out today. Where? Well, with the Crazy one (Old Jonathan). No, you say he and his little 'congregation' don't think they are superior to other Christians. Let's look.
After the Crazy one's 50, 60?(I lost count) rejection by local churches to be their pastor, his few hundred followers literally explode with indignation. Righteous indignation at that. In true Savaranola fashion the offending congreations are called misguided, ignorant, not near as a good Christman as the 'prophet' they just rejected. (He was despis-ed and rejected ) Maybe not the exact words of his little 'flock,' but read his blog and the comments, and you'll get it.
I saw the Royal wedding today, and thought it was really fine. They sang Jerusalem and it almost ruined the whole thing for me.The English are always complaining, you see. They want to build the 'kingdom' in England's 'green and verdant fields.' Or something like that. So greedy. God has already rewarded you enough.HE has sent you one greater than all but YOU! The Reverend Jonathan! So if you want to be sure you see ME, get out those checks (paypal also accepted) and bring your mites (he prefers quit a bit more), and If you do not, Jonathan warns, I shall go into the desert (definition: get a job) and , without me, you shall be accursed!

What God Has Revealed And Given US
Last night my dad and mom and stepsister and her husband hosted a party. They had about 50 guests.My wife and I were there and we brought up a subject which has changed my schedule of posts.
The big topic of discussion was the Crazy one's new "Church." It kind of set a new tone, as several guests did not believe what we were telling them. Between screams of laughter, several questions emerged. So here they are.
The Crazy one instructs those participating in the on-line(blog)Eucharist to get a glass of liquid and a piece of bread to get ready. Sure, he suggests something made from grapes,add a little liquor, and will celebrate the Eucharist.
First question. Will a scotch and soda suffice for the liquid? A strawberry sody? A Coors? Lemonade?
Second question.Despite the Crazy one's disclaimer, what is his part in this celebration?
Third question. And like unto the second, does the Crazy one in any way affect the elements?
Fourth question. If Mr. Crazy is not essential (or is he?) can anyone put on one of the Crazy one's 'rock' records, for example, and serve Communion to his neighbors. Or following logic, to just himself alone?
Fifth question. If this center service of the Church's practice can be practiced under the above conditions,will the sacrament of Baptism follow shortly from Mr. Crazy?
Sixth question. If five is affirmative, can I Baptize my neighbor in his bathtub? What music does the Crazy one suggest? Can I get in my own shower, and while singing Ave Maria, baptize myself?
Seventh question. Do the handfull of devoted Anglicans in the Crazy one's coterie endorse blog sacraments?
I could go on. But let's see if the "faithful" in the Crazy one's blog church respond. They have all been categized(sp?) by him to ignore those who see him as a crank;delete any comment from their blogs that questions their moral superiority (more on that later). or the Crazy one's favorite,, make up all the lies you can and then block the commenter from replying.
