Urge to Liturge

Oh friends, I feel as though it's been a while since I spewed my thoughts across the web. Sadly, I have to admit, there has not been much to spew. Last week was definitely an, "Ahhh, quick, quick, finish all the stuff that you didn't get done yet!" kind of week. I finally finished all my thank you notes from graduation and my thank you's for the help with my honors project finally went out. I have also written a draft of my support letter, though I am still waiting to get the OK from SIM to send it out. Also, I got an interview with a temp agency, so they should hopefully start sending me out any day now. All in all, it was a pretty busy week.

So, I would like to annouce that one of my projects this week is putting the finishing touches on my new blog, location classified. No, seriously, I am moving after...what, has it been two years now? Wow, it's high time for a change. So stay tuned for updates about the move, particularly the all-important one that gives the new URL. Also, if any of you are web designers and would like to fly down to Houston to help me put this thing together, please be my guest.

So, the most interesting thing that happened this past week was my discovery of and visit to St. Dunstan's Episcopalian church that's only about fifteen minutes away from my house! Yay! You don't even know what a find this is in Texas. Everywhere you go, Baptist, Baptist, Baptist, maybe some Assemblies of God, some generic evangelical, charismatic huffandpuff, and maybe an occassional United Methodist Church. Everything else is practically non-existant. So to just discover an Episcopalian church so close is an absolute Godsend. So I went there for their once a week noon service in their chapel. It was great! I was a little off-balance because I arrived late and didn't pick up the sheet from the Book of Common Prayer (Ahhhh! The Book! They use the Book! It was so great!) The other thing is that I didn't take communion there because they requested specifically on their website that it was open to baptized believers, which I am not. But that's okay, cause I will be, by and by. Anyway, last Thursday was the feast day of St. Irenaus, and so the priest was talking about St. Irenaus and his teachings and contributions to the church and it was actually really interesting and well put together for a week-day homily in a side chapel (they have a chapel!) which only about 10 other people attended. Anyway, it seems like a wonderful church, though it hardly seems worth it to look into attending any further when I'm only here for another two months and I hardly feel like investing short-term in another church just so I can go away and have everyone forget me so I have to start all over again. Anyway, it seems like an excellent prospect for when I come home again...maybe. Anyway, much excitement. I don't have to become Catholic to be be liturgical!

Huzzah!
