I especially like his hat.Every once in awhile, for no apparent reason, I get especially hyper as I preach or teach. It used to happen to me sometimes at the college, too.
It happened second hour this morning. It was so bad that some of them were making fun of me, running around like a squirrel on uppers.
I regained consciousness sometime between 3:30 and 4:00 this afternoon but I'm still experiencing post-Sunday morning symptoms.
Tolleson is a suburb south, and just west of Phoenix. Sort of the beginning of what's called the West Valley. Their city council has voted to file an amicus brief as part of the suit in the 9th Circuit Court to stop SB 1070, the AZ bill re. illegal immigrants. The city is 80% Hispanic, which might have something to do with their opposition to the law. (Ya' think?) But the city council said they oppose it because it will divert law enforcement funds away from crime fighting and will "strain already overstrained budgets."
They voted unanimously to allocate $20,000 to the lawsuit.

Have you seen the TV ad for the new Nissan Juke? Next time, check out the guy's shoes. Weird.
I mentioned last night that I was using outside-the-box music during communion this morning. I used a Josh Grobin rendition of Panis Angelicus during the passing of the bread and Beth Chapman's Ave Verum Corpus for the passing of the juice. In the bulletin I had the Latin text and its English translation for both, but I didn't see anyone looking at it during that part of the service. I think they were caught up in what we were doing and probably forgot it was there to look at while those were played.
I love both those pieces. I prefer Pavarotti's Panis, but if you're not used to that kind of music his operatic voice and style can be off-putting.
Got no comments afterward, which is fine. I was just curious to see if anyone would say anything.
It's a little after 8 p.m. and feels like midnight.
I'll do better tomorrow night. If I wake up tomorrow morning.

I really enjoyed listening to both pieces during communion and did follow along with the translation. Which, of course, gave the music a whole other level of meaning than just being beautiful to listen to.
And, yes, you were a little more animated than usual during second hour, but there is no way anyone was daydreaming with all your energy. :)
Hmmm...I'm going to have to listen to that one.... (I'm still finishing up the last discipline message.)
