They’re adorable and hilarious, like this one.

It makes me think that I need to figure out how to get a little vid camera and do some Clergy Make-Up Tutorials for you!!

This morning I noticed that almost all of the hair on my arms is gone. I remembered my late maternal grandmother putting her arm or leg in my lap and demanding, “FEEL THAT!” She was as smooth as a baby. Why she thought this was a matter of pride, I have never understood. But now that I have a far less downy forearm I can only think, “Oh my God, I’m slowly becoming my Baba.” She was a good-looking old bird so that’s not what worries me — but if I ever stick my arm in your face and say, “FEEL THAT!” please gently direct me to the nearest senior center and sit me firmly at the bridge table under the supervision of an attendant.

A bit of housekeeping!

I get so many wonderful questions and photos from you and although I read them all faithfully and file them under various supposedly helpful labels in my gmail account, I don’t always post the responses on-line that I intend to. Blogging for me is a flibbertigibbit type of activity. My posts are composed fast and furiously during a momentary break in the day (or late at night as a way of winding down, and posted later), and almost always on a whim. There’s no real plan or schedule (unless it’s in the summer when I have longer stretches of free time to strategize posts a bit).

So if you have been expecting to see your question or photo here, do know that it might yet appear and I do love you and I do answer about 95% of my mail, with sincere apologies to that 5% whose notes slip through the cracks. As you know, the pastor’s e-mail in-box is a scary thing, and mine no less so than yours.

I just wanted to say that while I was thinking of it! And it’s always okay to write to ask me what happened to that big feature I was going to do about you.

I also wanted to report that I had a lovely blind date today with one of you who lives close by enough for us to meet. What fun it was! I have yet to meet a BTFM reader with whom I didn’t have immediate rapport and delight. Ministry is fascinating and I love hearing about yours whenever possible.

Have a beautiful, confident, shining week.
Kiss of peace,
PB

We don’t have Steinmart where I live, and I think it’s a great store so I went last night. As I was trying on clothes, I found myself saying, “It’s fine, but I don’t LOVE it… and PeaceBang would say not to get it if I don’t LOVE it.”

And then, “It fits fine, but it’s cut badly for my body, so that means it doesn’t really FIT. PeaceBang would not approve.”

I wound up with three garments that met the criteria of fit, something I needed and will wear a lot, love/excitement and fantastic price.

I just wanted to tell you that even PeaceBang sometimes heeds PeaceBang’s advice!

Be back after a long winter’s rest (not that long, I promise. Just post-holiday slump). PeaceBang has some hunkering to do.

I ordered these cut-out wedges from FreePeople.com weeks ago and called today to see where they were. The sympathetic Free People representative informed me that they were out of stock and she was very sorry. No, they will not be coming back in stock.

Does anyone recognize the manufacturer or designer? They were on sale for $29, so I guess it’s pointless to even try to find them somewhere else. They’d be close to $80, I bet.

And she is on FaceBook as PeaceBang.

Because she digs this social networking stuff.
And because her life (and preaching files!) are greatly enriched by social networking, she wants to return the favor.

Kiss of peace!

Crazy Shoes 446

Just kidding. I SO would not.

paint splattered skirt

But this, I did. On e-Bay. I’ll wear it on days off with leggings/tights and boots and a hoodie. And I will sing Cindy Lauper songs while I do.

Or I may get it in the mail and think, “Oh, sweet Jesus. What was I thinking?” In which case it goes with me in the give-away bag to Nicaragua, and no one gets hurt.
