Same old same old... just revamped to appeal to youngsters. <br />http://eternity.biz/news/so_you_think_you_can_date/1004050100/<br />How insidious! Brain washing and subliminal messages from what I call a very 'uncool' group of individuals. Why not show it for what it is ... hell, fire, brimstone AND DISCRIMINATION!<br />Nothing like the beauty depicted in your Easter Sunday sunrise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241057393602065840.post-43103085756118694202010-04-06T05:00:13.228+10:002010-04-06T05:00:13.228+10:00A belated Happy Easter to all the Duck Noodles.

Wow a kayak into the Heads!!!<br /><br />Saturday evening, Susan and I attended the Great Vigil at Christ Church, Binghamton which was also its 200th Anniversary with the Most Rev. Katherine Jefferts Schori as Celebrant and Preacher.<br /><br />A lovely service and memorable sermon. Sunday morning, we were back home at Trinity Memorial for the Choral Eucharists at 8:00 and 10:00 AM.<br /><br />The Mixed and Treble Choirs were sublime and the pipe organ was in full voice for the first time since undergoing a Golden Anniversary tuneup and overhaul. Interestingly the overhaul cost 250% of the 1960 original cost. <br /><br />Inflation really is a bear. <br /><br />The Lord is Risen Indeed, Alleluia.gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992216957664459649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241057393602065840.post-61045141959126428352010-04-05T19:25:11.430+10:002010-04-05T19:25:11.430+10:00Belated Easter greetings to you and yours.Belated Easter greetings to you and yours.Doorman-Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407399232593479871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241057393602065840.post-59241669481504447822010-04-04T20:11:32.165+10:002010-04-04T20:11:32.165+10:00The Eucharist and Renewal of Baptismal Vows at St....The Eucharist and Renewal of Baptismal Vows at St. James' really was spectacular. As the choir sung during the entrance procession an awestruck Miss Four whispered in my ear, "Daddy, how did they get the angels to come down and sing in church?" The sermon, by the retired New Zealand Primate, Governor-General and Bishop of Auckland, Sir Paul Reeves was also one of the most powerful, challenging, and inspiring I've <i>ever</i> heard. Even two toddlers with tummies full of chocolate were entranced - just watching their amazed silence was astonishing, let alone the service!<br /><br />As for the kayak: my wife prefers the word "mad" to "brave", but as I keep trying to convince her, providing you stay within your limits and carry all the appropriate safety gear it's every bit as safe as the Manly ferry. Not that she believes me any more than you do, of course... :-)Alcibiadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13132420102550256958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241057393602065840.post-39200510508271981072010-04-04T18:38:49.446+10:002010-04-04T18:38:49.446+10:00You have made me slightly homesick although I pref...You have made me slightly homesick although I prefer to see the Sydney heads from a Manly ferry not a little kayak, you are very brave. But I did miss choral eucharist at St James. It was nice at St Paul's cathedral, Dunedin but sadly not in the same class.Brian Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802352695666737088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241057393602065840.post-78797164541196982402010-04-04T10:33:29.133+10:002010-04-04T10:33:29.133+10:00Lovely!

We light the fire and follow the Big Candle into the Church where we listen to the lessons, and the choir, wait for the sun to shine in, then sing the great Alleluia and celebrate our Risen Lord. Breakfast upstairs and then the 10:00 service for those slug-a-beds, with Brass and Timpani and loud music, etc. I actually like the Vigil best.<br /><br />Happy Easter Alcibiades and the rest of the Duck Noodle Gang. Don't forget to carry on feasting! We are, after all, compelled to feast!!susan s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03679099677585214433noreply@blogger.com
