Happy Christmas, everyone!

My favourite headline of the year appears right at the end: "Unbalanced Woman Topples Pope".

One of my heart medicines is in the form of pills shaped (more or less) like little pink hearts. This amuses me :)

Every so often, you learn something you can't account for. I was raised Methodist. Our particular church used the doxology:

"Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen."

By accident, I've just learned that it's the Anglican doxology. Exactly why our church used that one, and held on to it through three pastors, I have no idea. Most other Methodists seem to use the Old Hundredth, which we did too on occasion. There's probably some bizarre and interesting story of church politics there.

I'm not sure if I follow what you mean in that scripture, That the world won't end? If by this you mean the talk about an end to the world in the scriptures?

If so then quite possibly yes, this world may never end, but the good lord never said people would be on it that whole time ;)

I always wondered about that line myself. The Methodist church, so far as I could ever tell, considers the topic irrelevant - you're supposed to conduct yourself properly all the time, not just when you expect the world to end.

Well that is true. According to the word of god your suppose to live by his word all the time. That's true to anyone.

I've never put my faith totally in the hands of one of the demominations of churches, I feel as long as you believe in his words and live as best you can to them as to how you interperate his words, then you will be saved. No one relidgon is correct over the others.

Just my two paws in the pot.

They just didn't want you to forget what it was for hehehe.

I pretty much have that doxology memorized, being Methodist myself.

[xolo.livejournal.com]

You use that one too? Because most of the other Methodists I've met seem to use the one that starts "Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow..."

We use that one as well after the offerings, and the other beforehand.
