It’s Sunday - What did you listen to?

[temporal1]

I was sent this, very interesting- listened early morning. Pretty deep. Lots of ads to “skip”
https:

i’ve learned i’m not a fan of TC, but, because you recommend, and the topic is interesting, i plan to listen. thanks.

I “used to be” a fan. I was sent this by someone who gets demonically attacked in stronger ways than the average Christian- I’ve known of this by others- it’s difficult for them to convey it in such a way that it doesn’t make them seem they’re imagining things but having been close to somebody these I know I can trust their experiences are real.

There is so much more unknown than known.

A major problem with this topic (and all of Christianity) is with charlatans and opportunists.
i try to be very careful.

Neither of which enters into this Scriptural discussion

This morning it was Catholic mass, an energetic Nigerian priest encouraging openness and confidence in expressing faith, to not be timid or shy. He led enthusiastic appreciation of fathers with their children.

I do find interesting when someone here relates the homily from the day’s mass, for I get a different rotation on the Bible and gospel readings by going to the Latin Mass. We had the calling of Peter and the other fishermen today.

Side note, purely technical, Catholics do not have sermons or “a message”, we have a homily. Only relevant in that unlike a Protestant or Anabaptist service where the message is center place, the homily is no where near as big a part (time wise) nor as important.

^^i’d enjoy attending a Latin mass.
i fondly remember 2 years of Latin in public school. i’d like to see it offered again like that. IRL, not remote.
i remember our teacher. she introduced new thinking about languages, of course. interestng.

(Not Sunday) i thought of you, when readng this:
THE UNGER REVIEW / Mennonite Church Sets Record By Standing Up and Sitting Down 600 Times in a Single Service
https://www.ungerreview.com/mennonite-c ... e-service/

MOUNTAIN LAKE, MN
The East Side Mountain Lake Mennonite Church set a world record this Sunday after Pastor Ron had the congregation stand up, sit down, and stand up again 606 times in a single service.

“We honestly weren’t going for any record,” said Pastor Ron. “It’s just that we had a lot of responsive readings and prayers…and the fact we ended up at 606 is just the icing on the cake.”

The congregation first stood up to greet each other, then sat down for the responsive reading, then stood up again for a boisterous singing of ‘Life is Like a Mountain Railroad’ and then sat down again while the Friesen sisters performed a skit based on Jonah 2:10, then up again for the prayer, then down again for the children’s story, then up again for ‘Church in the Wildwood’, then down again for the more sombre ‘Peace in the Valley’, and up and down like this another 599 times.

“To be honest I didn’t even notice we were approaching a record until about halfway through the service when Mrs. Peters tapped me on the shoulder and told me to keep it up because we were on pace to shatter the Elkhart record of 504 ups and downs back in ’97,” said Pastor Ron. “At that point I was just hoping no one’s back would give out and we just keep on going.”

Exhilarated after the service, church member Mrs. Kornelsen, 76, said she feels ready to run the Minnesota Marathon.

“I haven’t done that many deep knee bends in ages,” said Mrs. Kornelsen, dripping with sweat. “It’s nice being able to learn a little from the Word and get in an awesome Yoga Meltdown workout at the same time!”

After the wild success of the service, Pastor Ron is thinking of installing a couple hundred stationary bikes in the sanctuary and running Spin classes every Sunday morning.

Carpe diem

If you truly enjoy Latin, I strongly recommend Cattus passatus.

I was aware of Grren Eggs and Ham in Latin but was unable to get a copy when it came out. It is hard to get now and quite expensive.

I confess, I am not a fan of the Grinch even in Latin

Gratius ago tibi. Spellcheck really fights Latin
