While Doorman-Priest is away at Vicar School this week, he gave the key to his blog to The Reverend Boy and to me, and asked us to post while he was gone. When I said yes, I had no idea how daunting the task would be when the time came to actually write a post. I struggled and discarded and finally posted at The World of Doorman-Priest. If you'd like, you can read my post there. RB's post will be later in the week.
The task was difficult, because I believe that DP is quite good at what he does, and I didn't want to disgrace him on his own blog. I wonder if he realized the risk involved in handing me the key. I've already been tempted to put up something naughty.
Signed,
Doorman-Priest's humble servant (aka Grandmère Mimi)
Ya done good, Mimi.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. Now hie thee back to that dissertation.
ReplyDeleteDamn. Busted~
ReplyDeleteI read it already -- well done, Grandmere, and a phenomendal degree of self-restraint.
ReplyDeletea phenomendal degree of self-restraint.
ReplyDeleteI know, Kate. It's hard.
well, what an honor!
ReplyDeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteMimi, you gotz some 'splainin' to do?
ReplyDeleteAnd whatz wit da "I coulda been naughty, but I wuzna?" over at my place?
Ya know I'm usually ready for naughty, and long as it's discrete and respectable, of course.
Diane, I am honored, indeed.
ReplyDeleteJan, thank you.
Johnieb, it wasn't naughty. It was teasing, but not nice. It had an edge to it that I didn't like, and so I didn't say it. Sometimes I'm ironic to a fault, you know.
Mimi, you gots a picture of your very self up now! And in cardinal red. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane. It's there for a while. I couldn't stand the Jane Austen portrait any longer. I believe that soon and very soon, I won't be able to tolerate my own. I tried to Simpsonize myself, but I could not get the process to work.
ReplyDeleteGrandmère, you had absolutely nothing to fear. You are a formidable theologian.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a lovely photo of yourself!
Pax, C.
You look great!
ReplyDeleteCecilia, thank you. "...a formidable theologian"? I consider myself more of a simple, thinking pew warmer.
ReplyDeleteKirstin, thanks. I'm in my opera finery in the picture. Although many attendees don't dress up any more to go to the opera, I did.
Oh lookie! Jane Austin has been replaced by la Grandmère fameuse!
ReplyDeleteCaminante, shall I change my handle to "Grandmère Fameuse", so folks can say, ""Grandmère Fameuse! Who the hell is she?"
ReplyDeleteDoorman-priest choose well. That was an excellent post!
ReplyDeleteLindy, thank you.
ReplyDeleteGrandmere, I too enjoyed your post at DP's place. I'm depserately trying to remember something now that I read whilst doing my essay on mission last year, which seems pertinent to your theme. I'll go away, find it and come back.
ReplyDeleteTheMe, thanks. You know when I begin to talk theology or doctrine I feel as though I'm pulling it out of my arse (as you English say), so I don't do it often. I appreciate the support.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the Creeds, I am quite orthodox, but some of the rest, that which is not core doctrine, I make up as I go along, with the Gospels ever in my mind. I think I may not be alone in this. I'd like to see what you have.
