My method these days is to make piles of stuff. The really important things to get done for the week are placed on top of my computer keyboard (or a note reminding me to read, write, call, etc.) so I cannot avoid or forget them. Eventually, if I don't move a pile in several months, then I decide that there's nothing really important in that pile; go through it quickly; and discard most of it.

We will do the readings and then off to shovel snow (that is, if the condo parking lot has been cleared). God be with you.

During the Creeds, I bow during the time Christ is on Earth (or under the Earth as He descended into Hell)--from conception to resurrection. I do this to humble myself and remind myself that I am a sinful human being in need of a Savior. I do this to remind myself that God loves me so much that He would do such a mysterious thing.

When I moved and went to another church, I only used the individual cup even though the chalice was also used because that's what I grew up with and didn't think anything of it. However, when I visited several times at a new mission plant nearby, my practice was challenged because the new mission only had the chalice. The pastor, who had been a missionary in Africa for many years (all four of his children were born there), talked about how they would use only a common cup even though there were believers there with all sorts of diseases. For all his years there, he did not see anything to convince him that diseases were being passed via the common communion cup.

(Especially when I'm right. ^_^ ) Thu, 9 Jul 2009 13:46:40 +0000 http://esgetology.com/2009/07/08/psalm-26/#IDComment26785358 http://esgetology.com/2009/04/13/the-good-friday-fart/#IDComment18695647 What I really want to know is where you got the nifty sign from. :) Mon, 13 Apr 2009 23:59:53 +0000 http://esgetology.com/2009/04/13/the-good-friday-fart/#IDComment18695647
