Doorkeeper: July 2011
http://ratherbeadoorkeeper.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than - well, almost anything really. Monday, 11 July 2011. Unintended benefits of idleness! I should have gone to Waitrose but didn't because a) couldn't be bothered and b) I get annoyed because everything is so expensive in there, but mainly a). Anyway, I didn't and only remembered when I had returned home and put my slippers on that there was no bread. Sometimes it's good to be idle! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Doorkeeper: March 2012
http://ratherbeadoorkeeper.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than - well, almost anything really. Sunday, 25 March 2012. Well that was it - my last Sunday as Churchwarden. On Tuesday we have our APCM and my successor (carefully selected and nurtured for a couple of years) will be elected unanimously. After six long/short years I have just put away my stick (ebony, silver base, silver crown on the top - wouldn't last five minutes if not locked up) probably never to carry it again. During this time my family got ...

Jim's Thoughts: My Latest Recipe
http://essaysbyjim.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-latest-recipe.html
A series of essays and reflections. I try to write at least once and sometimes more each week. Opposing views are most welcome. This is a marketplace of ideas blog. I make this in a cast iron pan but any 10 or 12-inch oven proof skillet will work. I serve it from the pan. I suppose you could use a buttered 9 x 13 casserole or baing pan with the ragu spooned down the center. 1# pork breakfast sausage. (I plan to try Italian sausage soon). 1 large sweet or white onion. 1# "baby bella" mushrooms. Add meat, ...

A series of essays and reflections. I try to write at least once and sometimes more each week. Opposing views are most welcome. This is a marketplace of ideas blog. I think Mr. Obama's oration at the funeral of Rev. Senator Pickney may be one of the great speeches in American history. Years, decades, from now, students of American history, politics, and speaking will study this speech. Do not miss it! Youtube has the entire thing for you here and you should listen to it. Rev John Newton was a priest in t...

Justice runs like water. And we all may cry, hallelujah! Sunday, 28 June, 2015. This decision recognizes the fact thqt we cannot have marriage in some states, and adjective marriage in others.

Sue-z and I have a dear friend who is dying. He is very calm about that fact, his life-bonded partner died a few months ago, and his cancer leaves no doubt that his time is come. We are sad to lose him, at the same time we are inspired by the calm confidence that he brings to his imminent departure. Justice flows like water. Freedom comes...

Jim's Thoughts: Symbols Matter
http://essaysbyjim.blogspot.com/2015/07/symbols-matter.html
A series of essays and reflections. I try to write at least once and sometimes more each week. Opposing views are most welcome. This is a marketplace of ideas blog. In the wake of the removal of the Virginia battle flag in South Carolina, and the publication of the photos of the apparent killer using that flag as a symbol of his views, it is perhaps time to think about symbols. The battle flag is only one of several symbols we should be considering. Bigots who are demonstrating in South. An Inch At A Time.

Doorkeeper: February 2011
http://ratherbeadoorkeeper.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than - well, almost anything really. Monday, 7 February 2011. Let me start by mentioning that I like cars. I don't lust after them, I wouldn't take food out of my children's mouths to buy a better one, but if the keys to a nice white Jaguar XKR just happened to fall through my letterbox one day, donated by a grateful admirer (huh! I wouldn't ask too many questions. No he has not. It turns out that, because my car is an automatic, they undertake to pro...
