Meditation, Strange Mystics, Dove Fajitas

All right, so I should have proofread better.

But on the other hand, they should have known that I mean we were having a time for “meditation and prayer” rather than for “medication and prayer.” But, hey, however you can get to a peaceful moment . . . .

Randy Harris begins tomorrow night a three-week series at Highland called “Some Great Ideas from Some Weird Christians: My Favorite Mystics.”

No offense, Randy. But if I was preaching a series with that topic, my first lesson would be about you (though I’d change “weird” to “unique”).

Yesterday was the opening day of Dove Season — basically a state holiday here in Texas. And my younger son and I celebrated it on some land just northwest of Abilene. Anyone want to come over for dove fajitas?

    Weird or not, I sure would love to get to hear Randy’s series with Highland.

    Dove fajitas go in the weird category. IMO, of course. :)

    Wouldn’t miss it!

    My grandpa used to tell a story about my grandma wanting him to shoot several doves so she could make a dove pie for a ladies luncheon. He kept putting it off and, as he was reaching the deadline for the dove pie, he decided to just shoot any old bird - sparrow, blue jay, crow - clean it and give them to Grandma for a dove pie. He says she never knew the difference.

    I say he was pulling my leg. But one never knows…

    Medication and prayer? I’ll take some.

    Love dove hunting, hate eating the little bugers. I’ve tried dove 72 different ways, and not a one of them has ever tasted good.

    Does Highland podcast their Wednesday night talks?

    Matthew - We don’t usually. I’ll see if we can for these.

    Coping - You don’t have to miss them. Get here safely for your grandson’s football game, and you’ll have dove fajitas one night! (Your daughter-in-law will likely insist that there be chicken as an alternative for those who so desire.)

    Yeah, but did you change “Special Needs Ministry” to “Sexual Needs Ministry” and have it printed up into a bajillion fliers for the Highland ministry fair?

    Actually, that was someone else’s mistake, but it was definitely a mistake worth making.

    My favorite proofreading error was when an elementary school where I taught in Central Texas was having a HUGE patriotic day celebration, and sent invitations out to TONS of local dignitaries: school board, civic leaders, higher-ups at nearby Fort Hood, to join our patriotic day and stay for a lunch that included p*rn and beans, as opposed to pork and beans. It was a hit!

    I’m all about medication and prayer. I’m pro both.

    You do realize that doves are just albino pigeons, right? ^_^

    The series with Randy should be incredible. I’m all kinds of jealous.

    She only pokes her head in now and again, but Deana Nall has qb’s vote for the driest, funniest, pithiest posts in the entire blogosphere.

    Let me second Matthew’s request for a podcast of Randy Harris’ talks.
