Hallelujah!
Okay, RantWoman is twitchy about things that in some way suggest applauding God, but RantWoman makes exceptions:
God and Friend with the Ministry of Audible Eye Rolling, between them got actual words lined up and delivered a whole entire vocal ministry MESSAGE Sunday during Meeting for Worship. By multiple accounts it was quite trenchant, motivated from a recent visitation by members of one of the sects who prosletize door-to-door.
RantWoman in passing wonders what would happen if more Quakers went door to door more explicitly about our faith instead of just with all the petitions many of us are so fond of; perhaps RantWoman should chase that digression in a different post. If RantWoman gets all carried away, maybe she can tack this into the blogosphere's discussions of "revitalizing Quakerism."
But back to Eye Roller Friend. RantWoman sincerely hopes that the several bursts of positive feedback she heard will enable God and Eye Roller Friend to get words lined up more often.
RantWoman especially hopes this because RantWoman was not in the room for this momentous occasion: RantWoman has some kind of respiratory crud and it took her three tries to get seated, never mind settled in Meeting Worship with a nasty cough under appropriate control. RantWoman thanks the Friend who teased her about"stifling the word of the Lord;" it seems the words got handed to someone else this week.
