Vince Guaraldi often makes me think of Jacqueline, but now I'll specifically associate that song with her.
Book: Afraid I might be needing a preacher. Mal: That's good. You lie there and be ironical.
'Safe'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've been thinking of you all day, David, and hope you get to rest tomorrow.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I was driving most of the day, but I watched the service after the fact when I got to my vacation rental in NE Georgia this evening. So beautiful and so fitting, and I completely agree with everyone about the wonderfulness of Pastor Bea.

That would be nice but I have to meet with Tennessee Dave at 8am, the guy who fixed our curved windows. A sash line needs repair so homeownership precedes rest.
After that, however, I can go back to bed. Though really I need to get back to my running routine, which has been off since I had the stitches in my forehead. (No scarring btw!)

Pastor Bea is who drew Jacqueline to this church. JZ found her online sermons. Pastor Bea is somebody that Jacqueline had been wanting for a long time: A woman religious leader speaking about faith in terms which were entirely aligned with Jacqueline's own.
As Jacqueline understood Christ's radical message of love she saw that expressed in this church's actions.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
aka, Salty Walt, one of the best known singers of sea chanties and pirate songs in the RenFaire world
I could swear I recognized him from the time JZ, Emily, myself, & someone else went to see him & friends at Edinburgh Castle to sing sea shanties.

I was so happy to receive those hugs in person.

I think Pastor Bea was also looking for a JZ, which made this service very personal. I so appreciated how inclusive everything was, and also really explanatory (yes you can take communion even if you aren’t Lutheran, which is always a question I have). I also loved little glimpses of tech guy running around.

And I was happy to give them. And you can get them anytime you want.

Yes, I think she was very excited to have Jacqueline in her congregation and felt that too-soon amputation of a possible future as keenly as we all did.

I’m glad of the youtube since I’ve been rather untethered from date & time. It was fierce & gentle, which is apropos.
(Emergency trip to NM to take over parents’ care & feeding for a week unglued everything. My brother is there now. He got the easy week. Hopefully all will be steady & ambulatory after his week. I’m sure my father thinks so, he discovered my stubborn tyrannical streak can meet his in full. And win. At least when he is under-oxygenated, but I don’t stop when he’s not & being a fucking dumbass.)
