The Response – Good and bad

Rick Perry’s not-as-big-as-hoped prayer meeting, The Response is underway in Texas. You can check out the live stream at the website. As I take a break and write, a gospel choir is belting out some sweet praise music. As an evangelical, these songs touch me deeply and as is customary for me lifts my emotions.
But then I think about who is paying the bills (host entity) for the event.
The folks who think there is honor in the displacement and elimination of Native Americans from the land, who blame the Holocaust (6 million dead Jews) on gays, and who think the First Amendment is only for Christians, among many other offensive things are paying the bills.
To onlookers, I just want to say sorry.

    Let me know if that worked.

    You came close. The storms built up just 10 miles east and 20 miles south but then proceeded to go southeast. So, close but no cigar.
    But there is a chance again Monday and Tuesday.

  5. Maybe ‘hocus pocus’ would do it? (After all, it is a corruption of Hoc Est [Enim] Corpus [Meum], the words used by the priest at the climax of the Latin Rite Mass.)
    No disrespect to ‘boogety, boogety, boogety’, of course!
    (Isn’t it annoying when God doesn’t dance to our tune? … which he usually doesn’t, much to our chagrin!)

    Duh!
    Obviously, it was supposed to be Bippity, Boppity, Boo
