well, if you re-read the posts, it seemed like there was a def. boo-Warren, yay-other dude vibe until Liese said something.
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
They say "commit into your hands" stuff at commissioning type events too, like sending a new church leader off or whatnot.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
"committing [the Obamas] to your care, lord" because isn't that what you say at funerals?
It is. It weirded me out too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
BTW, This American Life from last weekend is all about the inauguration, and includes an interview with the evangelical guy who did a prayer at the DNC (? I believe) and how much backlashhe got for doing that. Along with everything else in the hour, it's fascinating listening.

And not only that, the boo-Warren has been incredibly antagonistic and attacky to evangelicals in general, which has been really unfortunate. For all the talk of how the choice of Warren feels like a personal attack, there's been a lot of similar invocations of evangelicals on the board the last few days.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That makes sense. I've really only heard it at funerals, though, which is why it was kind of creepy to my ear.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I'm not a huge fan of Billy G's either, but I like his speech more than Warren's. It reads broader to me, more univeral in theme and well, not having the Lord's Prayer at the end.
So, it's ok to invoke racism at the Inauguration
I don't think anyone was saying that.
I don't either. I haven't heard the benediction, so I'll wait to have an opinion.

I want one of those blankets left on the chairs. They look snuggly.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Warren was okay up until he invoked the J-word. I guess he couldn't hold himself back.
I've got no problem with the benediction speaker. Everyone was smiling at the stuff he was saying at the end was partly in jest.
