Thinkless Saturday

No Thinking Allowed Today

Up no earlier than usual this morning, and that after a decent night’s rest. Coffee and a square of mint dark to rise to consciousness. But something within, some internal demonic rebelling at obligation to think, expectations, or compulsion to muse, much less blog. 

Read; what? Jeez. From ACNS, published Anglican Oriental Orthodox accord meant to heal the Chalcedonian rift from 451. The what? The Chalcedonians versus the anti-Chalcedonians. Google and read it yourself, I’m not giving any links. It’s pretty fuzzy, apparently they don’t like being called monophysites (I’m not defining that for you either, look it up yourself). Tempests over theological issues that someone wrote are as substantial as the rice paper between two Japanese rooms. We crown ourselves heroes at dialoguing with Muslims, yet we love to hate Christians who bolt our church over gay marriage, ordination of women, liturgy reform. So now this accord about things that are beyond human knowing. Jeez. Jiminy.

This is my day to be thinkless.     

Decent temperature made miserable by humidity. 

Almost as good as old-fashioned beefsteak. Linda and I inadvertently doubled up on tomato purchases today. Large, flavorful red ones. She went while I was out making parish calls, and I stopped by on the way home from.

Tigers v. Gamecocks not looking good at halftime.

Oh, what the hell
