Nov 19, 2006 22:50

Today was Fr. Mennell's last day at St. Mike's and I came in early in order to go to the official going away celebration. It turns out it was also the day cerificates were given out to the Sunday School pre-teens who have chosen to become adults in the church. They had cake and cookies for the kids and mimosas for the adults. It was fun watching ( Read more... )

Spare Men johnwesley73 November 22 2006, 03:47:12 UTC

Will you tell me,
Master Shallow,
how to choose a man?
Care I for the limb, the thews, the stature, bulk,
and big assemblance of a man!
Give me the spirit, Master Shallow. -
Here's Wart; - you see what a
ragged appearance it is: a' shall charge you,
and discharge you, with the motion of a
pewterer's hammer;
come off, and on, swifter than
he that gibbets-on the brewer's bucket.
And this same half-faced fellow, Shadow, -
give me this man: he presents no mark
to the enemy, -
the foreman may with as great aim
level at the edge of a penknife.
And, for a retreat, - how swiftly will
this Feeble, the woman's tailor, run off!
O, give me the spare men,
and spare me the great ones.
