The balls are gonna be going all night since the parade started almost 2 hours late, but it's all good. I'll catch the highlights on the local news 'cause I'm gonna hit the sack early tonight.

30. It'll be June before you see any warm air, tho'.
It's prety much the same here in the DC area, and since I'm in the 'burbs it's worse. But I've been here long enough to endure it.

I swear, CC thinks the snow and ice are playtoys - he keeps trying to escape out the door whenever it opens! :eyes:

I wear layers, and have taken to liking McDonald's super-large hot tea. :)

51. He tried, during our last ice-storm.
The idiot got out and meandered down the driveway, took a left at the sidewalk, got about 50 feet before he realized it was damned cold. So he tried to scamper on top of the snow, but halfway back, he broke through the upper crust. Oh, and all this happened about 1 a.m., when I put the garbage outside.

but it's sure cold enough for it! All I need to do is layer up, grab a big cup of hot chocolate, and I'm good.

94. I did the same when I was a Redskins fan,
so the Ravens will be just as good as they were this past season.

In the meanwhile, sorry but I'm rooting for the Cardinals in the Super Bowl. :hug:

76. Me too.
And it made me think of my mom, and my daughter, and how incredibly supportive my mom was as I learned the ropes of being a parent.

80. She looked delectable.
Not to mention that she's smart, which is a major turn on.

82. Can I just apologize here for Rick Warren?
Another clergy and I were talking about the invocation... he was just as pissed as I was that Ricky had to jump into HIS Lord's Prayer.
By the way, the benediction was given by my fellow Methodist, Joseph Lowry. I'll claim him, any day.

84. You do NOT need to apologize, Rev!
He may be considered a member of the clergy, but he's got nothing on you!

And I have to say, I absolutely LOVED Rev. Lowry's prayer! I was reading posts by DU atheists who were so impressed by it, that it told me it really transcended religion!

92. well, he did lift the first part from "Lift Every Voice and Sing"
But I thought it was particularly appropriate, especially since we sang it in church yesterday. :)
(it's sometimes called the Black National Anthem.)

91. It was arrogant and offensive.
Can I just say right here how much I dislike evangelicals? x(

93. Sadly, you're not alone.
He's of the mega church persuasion, so he feels he's above all the other ministries by having 10,000+ members. My church has at least 100 members but we're more loving and dedicated in the line of obedience to the tenets of the Scriptures than all mega churches combined. Besides, being a Christian doesn't mean you have to be uppidy and arrogant. You just have to show love to those in need and do what God has called you to do.

86. When he launched into The Lord's Prayer
I thought to myself, "Well, I guess he ran out of material."

Oy. What a waste of time and space that was.

90. When in doubt, always keep it short.
To quote Captain Kirk, "God's a busy man."

96. Dare I confess?
That was the moment when I finally, actually, started to cry.

Because it brought it all home for me.

Because it was something I grew up doing, something that meant something to me and connected this day to everything in my past. Like a Catholic saying the rosary or something.

I know it was completely out of the experience of some of you, and to some of you it was arrogant and sounded like he was taking the day and making it "for Protestants only."

But it didn't come across that way to me. Not any more than Lowry came off as making it "for churchgoing African Americans only."

I know that probably doesn't make sense. But that was my experience.

I can't relate to the rest of Warren at all. I could have done without him. Gladly. And I think having Lowry there negated him somewhat.

But that was the ONE part of what he said that I couldn't really argue with. Not in terms of other people, but in terms of me.
