Here’s one of my church chums giving the sermon today, in a badass ensemble consisting of a prayer stole or preaching stole and a fine Cubs T-shirt. We’re still in Summer Casual mode at Holy Moly. When I’m under pressure and feeling overwhelmed, I SITS around a lot watching TV, goofing around on Twitter, and sending texts and postcards to random Congresspeople and government departement secretaries.

Remember the family victimized when the local KKK burned a cross on their lawn, but they won a lawsuit? President Reagan dropped by to visit them. Funny thing, they never did collect on the settlement. The leader of the local KKK disappeared. Many years later, he turned up as a Catholic priest, and NO ONE wants to talk about him.
