(Mine is positioned on my upper arm, because strength comes in knowing the source of my faith.)<br /><br />I smiled through the whole tattoo process, and kept peering down to eagerly watch the tattoo artist (<a href="http://doyleomite.com/" rel="nofollow">Susan Behney-Doyle</a>)apply each dot of ink. In fact, my hair was getting in <i>her</i> eyes! <br /><br />I designed my chalice tattoo - though Susan was responsible for straightening the lines, shading, and creating effects like paint dripping on the clay chalice.<br /><br />For people who want to have a beautiful, visible symbol of their faith, but who aren't quite ready for a tattoo, you can buy my <a href="http://www.uugifts.net" rel="nofollow">chalice artwork on T-shirts and other UU gifts</a> at www.uugifts.netKerridwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06426172315229970496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523947044685647211.post-87685422427283152132010-01-01T02:17:54.273-08:002010-01-01T02:17:54.273-08:00This is wonderful.

And even our poorest members tend to be college educated, and have a difficult time seeing the reality of those who aren't. I am working class (blue collar, no college-but well paid) and don't own a car, but the bus system has been created to ferry state workers, and doesn't run early enough to get many of us in service to work on time. In Juneau we have public transportation for elderly and sick ("care-a-van") But I don't know how accessible it is. <br />Our fellowship (and faith?) could be more accessible too, perhaps.<br />I think this conversation (and with leaders like Tandi) could lead in positive directions. <br /><br />I promise I'm done posting today!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647618151021803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523947044685647211.post-73277712677393966182009-04-18T13:04:00.000-07:002009-04-18T13:04:00.000-07:00My invitation to visit the goats, or at least a mo...My invitation to visit the goats, or at least a mountain ridge where they often hang out, is open to anyone able to make the trip with me, btw.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647618151021803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523947044685647211.post-89723571279135927332009-04-18T12:59:00.000-07:002009-04-18T12:59:00.000-07:00Thank you, Tandi.

I certainly connect with the truth of the statement, and I love the goats, and rarely notice them. But Occasionally I visit with them, and if you ever would like to I'm sure they would oblige us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647618151021803155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523947044685647211.post-48879987379935124152009-04-06T06:42:00.000-07:002009-04-06T06:42:00.000-07:00What great suggestions you gathered from a simple ...What great suggestions you gathered from a simple bus ride, Tandi! It gives me pause to look at this list and think about what my church is doing in these categories, or if it would even occur to us to do some of these things. The list seems to certainly have come from “working class” folks, and I suspect that these problems are lost on many of us in the Puget Sound region who are relatively privileged compared to your Fairbanks bus riders. Though, now that I think about it, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar list from the bus rider demographic here as well. The question is: How do we reach out to that group? I also noticed that all the suggestions you got were about actions, not beliefs.Frank Mandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079466674439840969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523947044685647211.post-28967477307295112992009-02-05T11:10:00.000-08:002009-02-05T11:10:00.000-08:00Lyndi, did we go to the same Christian youth group...Lyndi, did we go to the same Christian youth group? :-) I also miss that passionate energy.

What a blast it was.<BR/><BR/>Get in have some social time, then we would always play a game, then we would have worship, singing songs from our hymnal that we picked up the beat added an electric guitar and a keyboard and we rocked out, those are the times I remember feeling most spiritual, it was the music, it was the dancing and it was being in a room of my own kind, totally comfortable to let myself relate the music, and just have fun. Then we would go and have snack, snack and some more social time, catch up and build friendships after that study time, we would have have the most awesome discussions ask questions and have adult mentors, then we would head home, sad to leave and yet so excited for that next Wednesday.Lyndithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028339111374184076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523947044685647211.post-45226154128343740472008-12-11T06:08:00.000-08:002008-12-11T06:08:00.000-08:00Thanks, Tandi!
