i said it.
i said, "baby mama drama." i said it in confirmation yesterday.
the boys were so squirrley. finally i wanted them to reread genesis 15-19 where sara, abraham, hagar and a few boys are having a family drama. i told them to think about the baby mama drama that was playing out in the Bible. i asked them to think about how that family fight became our problem today.
how is that for making the Bible contextual? as my wonderful lay leader said, "just like the springer show!" oh, yes. i have plenty more.
our problems in the middle east can all be summed up with "baby mama drama."
probably not, but it would make foreign policy conversations more interesting!
i really hope i don't get calls from the parents about that one..."vicar margaret, did you really say 'baby mama drama' in class on sunday?"
what else...
oh yes.
the installation of the bishop.
they put a mitre on him. a mitre. the east coast clergy thought i was nuts for thinking there was something wrong with the bishop wearing a mitre! um, okay, i have never seen a lutheran put a mitre on! i introduced myself to the presiding bishop, and Bishop Hanson also thought it was a little bit amusing. he doesn't have one either. some of the east coasters were surprised when i said bishop hanson didn't have a mitre...oh, dear...i am out of my league.
i am getting to know some of the interns better. i found a few liberal confessional lutherans!!!!!! there are more of us! it was so nice to find them...apparently philly is the place to find a few.
okay...a few more photos.
this is a gps unit from one of the apollo missions...how would you like to haul that around? i was at the smithsonian air and space museum where i found this.
this is for my mom and dad...they were married just before the moon landing in 1969. july 10. and then they were travelling someplace together as newlyweds listening to the moon landing together on the car radio. also curtesy of the smitsonian air and space museum.
