'The Message'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
In utterly random news, I am listening to the soundtrack to 1776, a musical I worked crew for umpteen years ago. My brain is in a happy place.
EM's family was close with the actor that played Ben Franklin in the movie version. I think he was in the stage version too.

Howard Da Silva.
pray for me (sacrifice a goat, dance naked, whatever)
I will sacrifice a naked dancing goat. The DMV makes me cry.
I have now gotten sucked in to reading Wikipedia about religion, and it appears my parents' early exposure of me to Unitarianism really stuck a lot more than I'd thought.
I think he was in the stage version too.
My show was community theater, circa 1986. The soundtrack I'm listening to is the 1969 Broadway Cast. And according to ibdb.com, Howard Da Silva was part of that cast.
The Unitarians (at least in New England) grew out of the Congregational Church (which was long before the UCC existed). This is, of course, hysterical, because the first congregation churches in this country were the Puritan's churches. My church was founded in the 1640s. The town was founded by the church. Actually to incorporate a town then, you needed to have 11 men. 10 to tithe, one to preach. You built a church and got your town.
Interrupting during a brief break from work to announce:

That is all.
Yeah, see, that's what I'm finding funny. I was apparently raised congregational and had no idea!

Awww, that's my baby with her smiling eyes. We get that look a lot but we can never catch it on camera.

Good lord. I was thinking that statement couldn't possibly be accurate, but she's cute to the infinity!
Presbyterian and Methodist churches are not (typically, as far as I know) congregationally goverened. The Presbyterians have a Presbetery as a governing body, and the Methodists have Bishops.
This is true for Methodists. Leadership goes pastor-->district superintendent-->bishop.
I grew up Southern Baptist but recently have been going to a Methodist church. I like Methodist doctrine more, but like the governing of the Baptists more. (Although, frankly, Methodist doctrine doesn't quite do it for me, either. Just better than Baptist.)
Matilda looks like a very happy baby.
