World Class Traveller

Yes, I've been slow to post lately. The trend will continue over the next three weeks as I travel to Rome, Venice, Trier, Amsterdam. And yes, I am name-dropping. Eat your hearts out. Ciao!

Twinkie Church

been pretty busy. once again plagarizing myself with this post i left as a response at the emerging women blog.

i planned to go visit a local congregation a few weeks ago(none in particular) when i remembered it was mothers' day.

i do not appreciate going to church on romanticized occasions (mothers' day; fathers' day; veterans' day; grandparents' day), which congregations tend to treat as opportunities to serve nutritionally deficient concoctions made of alternating layers of transfats, artificial sweeteners, thickening agents and artificial colors to provide a fully sensual experience.

Like Twinkies for the soul: immensely satisfying in that guilt-ridden way that stuffs its face with mass-produced goodies, assuring itself that the yawning hunger one feels during such a feast is nothing more serious than a passing fancy for something sweet.
