Delighted to see that you've upheld the spirit of true,quirky Anglicanism, and our collective sense of humor. Not much giggling going on down here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan these days..thanks to our national leadership, lifestyle and other accoutrements. </p>
<p>Waving at you from across Lake Superior, where our parish chapel is known to devotees as "the bus" and we've wondered about an airline style in-flight cart to distribute drinks!</p>
<p>Stay sane and Anglo-Catholic!

Actually, when I saw there were eleven comments I figured I should read the reviews first. They tell me that I should in fact now go back and read more than the first three lines.

<p>Sorry I've jumped the gun about the lawn mower. First, I am going to need a burial service/rite (whatever you Anglicans call it) for the current one, never mind a blessing for the new one.</p>Joseph commented on 'Liturgy for the Blessing of a Mini Van'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d834515ec969e200d8347ed14a53ef2006-03-30T02:55:50Z2008-08-27T08:35:13ZJosephhttp://joewalker.blogs.comThere'll be no ice cream for you at the stop!

<p>I'll start working on the Lawn Mower. By the way, when I was doing summer jobs in landscaping, we used to quote James 5:4.</p>Troy commented on 'Liturgy for the Blessing of a Mini Van'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d834515ec969e200d834b4338a69e22006-03-29T20:59:43Z2008-08-28T05:20:52ZTroyJoseph, Bravo.

<p>Bravo. This is some of your best work. Really.</p>
<p>I suspect that by Anglican standards it is nearly perfect. Though your theology is flawed (like the BAS), your language is superior (unlike the BAS). So once the appropriate committees have removed all the beauty, BMV will no doubt be found recorded in Vestry books right across the country. </p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Troy</p>
<p>Could you work on something for the Lawn Mower?</p>

<p>I lean towards the transubstantiative school of thought since in my experience even plain water, upon spilling, somehow becomes a drink of not only deep hue but instantaneous and permanent colourfastness. And don't get me started on how one plain cracker transforms into enough crumbs to reconstitute an entire French loaf.</p>

I am sure he has had experience with several varieties and flavours of both juices and soft drinks over that last few years.

Is grape punch flavour drink equally valid?
