As my good friend Maggie Thatcher always says, "Never apologize, never explain." Anyhow, Davie, your big mistake was getting your lovely wife in the family way. That's how we reel 'em in. Also, I think we're arranging to have the Bishop pay a little visit to Tony and Annalisle and find out why their union has not yet resulted in issue. I know when I was a young married man it took a serious talk with Bishop Stoltzfus downstairs to get things moving, if you get my drift. Of course part of the problem was that I had not grown up on a farm.   Anyhow, this sort of religious disputation is best taken to the Culture list.

Hey Ross, when are you preaching next?  Not that I'll be going myself; still wallowing in blissful rebellion over here.  I just ask as a public service to the rest of the list. Tony Lapp Saw your sister Bev at Goshen College last week, Tony. She said she had two brothers living in West Philly. I said, I know, there's that nice David who comes to church all the time, and then there's that Tony, who won't come to church no matter how hard I lambast him. She just sort of hung her head in shame.     Ross Bender http://rossbender.org
