The World Outside My Head
I’ve been writing in my journal for most of the morning. Well, more like turning to it every fifteen-twenty minutes. I was tempted to tell the story of what has me writing like a fiend and then post the series of gunshot entries, but now I fear I might regret that later. I’ll wait until it’s not so fresh a wound and see how I feel about making it public.
In the meantime, two news stories have me smiling today:
1. The Episcopal Church (of which I am a proud member) is motioning toward banning the ban on gay bishops.
2. Barack Obama does it again—faces a potentially embarrassing situation and carries on like a pro that is! One of his teleprompters fell to the floor mid speech.
This story doesn’t make me smile necessarily, but makes me think: It’s a round up on the morality of text messaging. Personally, I say “No texting at the dinner table!”

The Episcopal Church is being brave, and they make me proud, too. Also scared. It’s hard to be a thinking person of faith. It no doubt always has been. At the moment I am far from certain there are enough such people in ECUSA to keep the church vibrant … and whole.
