a few blogthings

( am I a lady, a good cook, a taurus, or an average american? )

Ok, getting back to work...

I am, really. Just posting a couple quick things from the paper I read during lunch ;)

First, Robert (aka The Very Rev. Robert V. Taylor, the dean of Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral) has a piece in the Seattle Times about the Episcopal Presiding Bishop-Elect.

And b, this article on how sleep is the new sex. "Men think about it every seven seconds or so. Women romanticize it. Teenagers yearn for the weekends, when they might get a little of it." I liked the reminder to wind down before bed - you can't just "screech to a halt and enter REM on demand". Of course, this puts things pretty starkly: "The sleep experts say relax, drink less coffee and booze, eat better, rest more. The drug companies say take a pill."

Frank Griswold Live

Thanks to varsitynj for linking to this; it's from a Larry King Live episode with the Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold ( and lots of people pro and against gay christians in leadership )

Jesus says, "I have many more things to tell you but you cannot bear them now. When the spirit of truth comes he will draw from what is mine or reveal it to you." Truth is unfolding. Isn't it interesting that we learn more about truth in medical areas, truth about the world around us, but we can't learn anything new about sexuality? Isn't that strange?
