The Padre asked me if I would lead Psalm 143. I was pleased, nay, flattered. I did and the essence of that experience has remained with me, always.

Must thank you for putting me on the right path. I stand corrected and have withdrawn all my cliams on Pappacy!"

Thanks so much for your answer, Whisper. It makes perfect sense, and I must tell you I think it was wonderful that the priest asked you to lead in the recitation of the 143rd Psalm....and equally beautiful that you agreed to do so. But ME putting YOU on the "right path?" Sometimes you can really be a hoot, Whisper!! I have always known that I am not the brightest bulb in the lamp. it was kind of you to add that sentence though.

As such, I will decline your request to explain the details from the cathedral in Pakistan. I am definitely not qualified. Perhaps Servetus or David C. can respond.

God's Peace to You, Whisper.

Patty, how could I ever refuse such an honour and offered with so much love?

Feliz Anio Nuevo!

Thanks everyone, for the comments. DavidC and I are Indian brothers in the same kayak. Especially when I am behaving myself, I am pleased to be associated with him.

No wonder. Blood is thicker than water. Both of you are brothers of this ex-Indian. When I visit you guys, make sure there is an extra place in the kayak.

That we will do, BMZ. We shall of course make room for you on our next toe-curling kayak trip southward, over the Niagara Falls.

Here’s a photograph of what to expect:

Serv,

I thought the first kayak trip would be in smooth waters, where the three brothers could reminisce over soft drinks. Can we do this trip when I am too old and expressionless?

You're all more than welcome to kayak in the waters behind my home. You just have to walk down a path through the woods to get there. Here's a photo I snapped of it in the fall. (My dog was getting ready to go for a swim.) Nice calm waters here which lead out to the Atlantic.

I see many kayakers paddling away here. We have a canoe...so I guess I could be Pocahantas. My husband is a Passamaquady Indian.

Happy Paddling!

Patty
