King Tut and Snow

-

Studied Ancient Egypt today with the Kids -- including the public unveiling of King Tut -- the history timeline -- Hieroglyphics (write your name here) -- and we toured a pyramid. (I told them how I actually toured the passageways of one of the pyramids of Giza a few years ago, and they were somewhat impressed.)

Then, I sang Steve Martin's "King Tut" for them. (King Tut -- buried in his jammies, O King Tut -- should have won a grammy. Born in Babylona -- Moved to Arizona -- O King Tut)

They rolled their eyes.
Fortunately, it started snowing and that saved the day.

    Snow???? Today was beautiful at Table Rock with highs in the high 60's. Plus theres quite a few leaves on the trees yet.

    By the way, the King Tut song shows your age. I remember members of our band playing that in high school

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema

My Updated Ordination Succession

-
 I made an error when I listed my ordination succession a few weeks ago.  I was ordained by Earle Wilson and he was ordained by William Neff. I had thought that Neff was ordained by early Pilgrim leader, Seth Rees, but upon further investigation, he was actually ordained by Winfred Cox.  Thus, my ordination line takes a fortunate turn. It was a struggle reconciling Rees anyway.  I had taken a leap saying that he was ordained by the Nazarenes -- when, in fact, he was originally "recorded" (not ordained) by the Quakers, and the Nazarenes claim they never ordained him.  I find that hard to believe -- especially when, according to historian, Kostlevy, he participated in ordinations for the Metropolitan Church Association, a forerunner of the Pilgrim Holiness Church. Anyhow -- deepest apologies for leading anyone astray and here is the updated ordination succession for Earle Wilson and anyone ordained by him (including former Wesleyan GS, JoAnne Lyon). I was ordained by Earle Wils
