Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But doing communion with brownies, or cookies, or pie just seems...wrong.
One of the churches I went to ran out of communion bread one morning, and they had to run to the convenience store across the street for the last service. They ended up deciding on Lornadoodles, which just cracks me up.
This conversation is funny. If church served pot brownies, I might even go.
I can see why any form of bread would be a more acceptable substitution for the wafer than any kind of dessert. Jesus said, "This bread is my body, take of it and eat," not "This brownie is like, totally my body, dudes!"
Seriously, though, if through the grace of God you can transubstantiate 'bread' it shouldn't matter what you use, because miracles is miracles.
Also in terms of contemporary cuisine, bread and wine were the humblest and commonest foodstuffs of their day -- the equivalent of today's coffee and donuts.
Now I'm imagining communion with coffee and donuts.
Take, drink, this is my blood. And if you were up too late last night, drink some more....
communion of coffee and donuts would make mac very happy.
Happy Birthday Cass.
I'm sure they'd get more people coming to church regularly with coffee and donuts. But there'd be the inevitable donut schisms: powdered suger vs. regular sugar, plain vs. dipped, old fashioned vs. sour cream. And crullers! My god, the Crullers!
Birthday Happies for Cass!!!
edit because I had a massive brain fart and wished Sue a happy b-day. Thus starting the rumor you see below....
Oh my.
A federal bankruptcy judge Friday awarded Ron Goldman's family the rights to O.J. Simpson's canceled book, "If I Did It," which the Goldmans want to rename "Confessions of a Double Murderer."
Heh.
Goldman was slain along with Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994. The Goldmans want the book's proceeds included as part of a nearly $33.5 million civil jury award they have been trying to collect for almost a decade.
The ruling "ensures that Mr. Simpson will never see another dime from this book," said Paul Battista, an attorney for the Goldman family.
Good for them.
