Mmmmmonday'zzzzz Round-Up

From M to Z, here's what's new on the last Monday in March:

Our discerning Susan Rose hasn't left yet, but the departure-related weirdness has begun. Mark has a snowball's view of call...but at the same time PamBG links us to Maggi Dawn for a Top 10 List: Why Men Should Not Be Ordained. (I thought it was very amusing, but I *am* contrarian. And shouldn't apply to Mark.)

Heather shares some sermon thoughts; what's in the basket, anyway? What do you say when someone compliments your sermon? purechristianIthink wants to know. The tentmaker didn't mince words in his. Ginger is learning that when she preaches it's not all about her, and that feels good. And Stacey has learned something very important about what goes into making her sermons good ones.

Micahgirl is celebrating a mysterious word, while Rachel explores Sabbath.

will smama browses the headlines, then and now, and Ann links to a story you must read, but won't like.

Amy is glad to have the rest of the pastoral staff return, and Revem is glad to be back at church.
Natty wonders how to address a Bishop?

If it's all too much for you, why not join Reverend Mommy for Morning Prayer?

Scog Blog's family has health worries. Why don't you pop in and leave an encouraging word?

reverendmother lets us know what happened on the first day of The Writing Workshop!! (How about some word from peripatetic polar bear? Nothing just yet.)

Lorna posts while away from home; what shocking thing is she blogging now?!? It's good to hear her son is feeling better.

Being Shielded knows she needs to do more planning, so she has made a little list.

Sister Mary Alternative is grateful for the god box. Carol appreciates a great end to a rough week. And Mary Beth had a wonderful Alpha weekend!

Soozi gives us a spiritual review of The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

At Steve's house: like father, like son.

Amy likes to sing along in the car (and really, who doesn't?)

Beth's blog owns a small portion of her. (Some of us would be very afraid to take this quiz. VERY afraid.)

And I've been thinking about Mary Winkler.

What's on your mind?
