That is, I don’t know whether to ask somebody to help this woman out with her question or start a contest to see how long the post can stay at zero replies. They don’t call me a […]

Guess I’m not the only one with a touch of something.

Location: Bonne Terre, Mo.
Setting: North County High School auditorium
Occasion: Leadbelt Pentecostal Church event
Average age guesstimate: 42 (!)
Opening acts: Two local church groups: Patterson Family (a mixed trio that had the baldfaced temerity to […]

So my Crabb excursion Friday came with an extra bonus - a nice whopping case of influenza. Lovely. I’m hoping to have it licked by tonight or tomorrow, but until then, posting may be a little lite.

Wow. That throws me into flashbacks. Nominating Committee season in a Baptist Church always turned our house (the parsonage) into a prickly pear patch of anxiety (would Janice agree to teach the pre-schoolers instead […]

Ok, not everywhere but at least a few here. My off-topic bit on signs brought out the amateur photogs in a few people.

That second one is especially […]

Or, I suppose, ask and you shall receive. Anyway, my wish for a fairly typical bus floor-plan came true this a.m. when reader DD sent along this schematic […]

Thanks to those of you who wrote in about that church sign I was puzzling over: “It wasn’t the apple; it was the pair.” Obviously, we’re talking about Adam and Eve and the garden […]

Here at averyfineline, the division of interns responsible for handrolling the site (you know, the web monkey work) … well, they’re interns. And you get what you pay for with intern help. One particularly lazy intern […]

Not much to say about this month’s SN (maybe it’s all the whacks I’ve been takin’ at ‘em lately, huh?). So it’s a quick dispatch this time round.

Ok, maybe […]

So back in the day, it used to be my job as the Good Preacher’s Son to change the pithy saying on the plastic-lettered sign out front of the church (”Seven Days Without Prayer Makes One Weak,” […]

A few posts back, I mused about problems product fulfillment in sg and promised a follow up. Here it is. The first order of business is to acknowledge […]

My post last night about the untenable rational for SN’s brand of sunshine and roses reporting brought some objections that are most eloquently captured by my favorite antagonist, […]

Writing and editing this website has given me the rare and deeply gratifying pleasure of getting to know some of my regular readers. In a few cases, I’ve ended up developing friendships with people involved in sg […]

Well, barring a wildcard spot, looks like Brad Hudson is probably not idolizable, at least not on American Idol. Catching even a glimpse of him has been sometimes challenging, which is too bad. The last I heard, […]

I’ve added a few titles to the bibliography page, though I realize that without some mechanism for designating additions it’s rather like a snipe hunt trying to find the new content. […]

Wow. It literally took me all day to get to these letters. Between a slow connection with my web host and other annoyances, nothing else I planned to write today got written. But there are plenty […]

Location: Belleville, IL
Setting: St. Matthew United Methodist Church, mid-sized, formalish
Occasion: Gospel concert series (this one is dubbed “Quartet Heaven,” by DBQ and Anchormen, apropos the all-sing at the end […]

SGMblog has part of an answer to the Kingsboys question I posted a bit ago. Other readers have also sent in various blurbs that just about fill in […]

So you may or may not have seen this photo bouncing around the message boards thanks to Chuck Peters curiosity slash fascination with it. The only thing interesting […]
