Did no one catch the reference to Sister Mary Oliphant from the first Cheech and Chong album Big Bambu?

Or have I mind melded with Martin PC Not, as Pyx_e suspects?

Actually, I did catch the reference (the routine also mentions Sister Rosetta Stone).

Cheech and Chong on a spiritual formation thread--what a tangent...

Recently at a weekday mass the readings were from the Isaiah bits that start off the Messiah ("every valley shall be exalted and the mountains made low" etc) combined with a reinforcing NT and Gospel reading. Our priest, in his mini-homily, emphasized how we should use Advent to look forward to being brought up from our poverty and lowliness. But I couldn't help thinking that our little band of warmly dressed, well-fed people with time to be at daily mass in our pleasant, heated, church building were more likely to be part of the group that will be "made low".

Perhaps, Sine, you could find an opening to discuss whether people who have enough time and wealth to own or even know about such things as sterling ice-cream forks should perhaps focus on aspects of the Gospel other than "Jesus loves me and everything's gonna be alright!".

Does your course have a section on examination of conscience?

Jlg, Sine's had enough of being a cynical, obnoxious lil bastard; he wants to be a sunbeam for Jesus, that's why he's joined the coven [Biased]

Jen, that's the problem. So far it's all been about how God can make me feel better about myself. Which is bullshit, in my opinion. One can be a miserable wreck and still be out in the world, helping the people Jesus said to help.

And yes, I know, I should sell the ice cream forks and give the money to the poor. I'm just not there yet.

Thank-you, Ms Cow, for your vote of confidence.

I'll pray for you too. Extemporaneously.

pants, I feel like you're stalking me, and it's not a pleasant feeling.

If I have offended you in some way, I apologize.

I'm sure the hosts will close this thread when they are bored reading it. It makes no nevermind to me.

Yes, there's nothing quite like the double negative to enhance the attitude of your disenchantment.

I don't think there's any escaping the pants, Sine. She seems to be everywhere and on everyone.

Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff, and shut it when I've said enough. Amen.
