Mental Meanderings — What’s on my mind today 2014-08-22T15:49:36-05:00 Rebecca Frech

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

I’m too heavily medicated this afternoon to be thinking great thoughts, so you just get the randomness of my un-medicated ADHD brain.

***************************
Are you reading the blog by the Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi? You should be. He finds really thought provoking links, is hilarious when he writes, and is a definite straight-shooter. He wrote about V.P. Joe Biden

Perhaps God, who knows whether or not Biden’s brain was permanently damaged by his brain surgery, will not judge him too harshly, but the Church, which does not have that kind of knowledge, should certainly speak out and reprimand him.

We need more bishops like him. (I wrote him a fan email that said how much I love his blog and he wrote back that I “made his day.” I’m pretty sure that making a bishop’s day will get me straight into Heaven.)

******************************

LarryD at Acts of the Apostasy is sponsoring Fantasy Bishball. You can have whomever you please, but I’m taking Gracida of Corpus Christi. Did you see what that guy said about Biden?

*****************************

Best come-back I’ve heard in a while “The problem isn’t the Catholic Church’s stand against birth control. The problem is your stand in favor of premarital sex.”

******************************

I’m not making Easter Dinner this year. I think we’re just going to get Chinese takeout. The thought of spending the day in the kitchen smelling food and then having to be nice to people while I watch them eat it…..it’s not happening……Maybe we’ll just order a pizza because nothing says “Alleluia! He is risen!” quite like a large peperoni, canadian bacon, sausage pizza. (Once again we’re celebrating a Jew with pork products. Nice.)

****************************

I just spent a half hour on the phone with a friend while we griped about our lives. She sounded relieved; I felt worse. Maybe I’ll just listen next time.

Have you seen the new “hard to find” Easter eggs? They look like leaves and rocks. I’m thinking of buying a couple dozen, tossing them out by the creek behind our house and not letting the kids in until they find them all. That should be good for an hour’s nap.

***************************

When I’m too sick to move and get a little bored, I click on my followers list and start reading blogs. If you’re not over there, I can’t find you and come read. In a way, that makes following me an Act of Mercy.

****************************

No matter how rough the last couple days have been, at least I’m not this guy.
