Paging Sister Mary Martha....Paging Sister Mary Martha
I have a loose end in my life. And with Lent just around the corner I think it is time to give a shout out to see if we can tie up that loose end.
Let's start with a little background. Last year someone asked my opinion about a blog entry. Well actually, this person asked the general opinion of the group of folks that hand out on the Protestant homeschooling forum that I hang out on. I had an opinion...fancy that...but thought that perhaps my opinion might be a little to inflammatory for the forum so I put it up on my blog and then sent anyone who wanted my particular brand of inflammatory opinion to read it with a link. At the time, I didn't know about Technorati. Well it turns out that Pastor Furtick thought I was all mean and he publicly swore off Technorati which then had the effect of rocketing him to the top of Technorati's "Top Searches" list. Well this had the effect of bringing lots of people to my blog many of whom told me how wrong I was about my take on church shopping and told me a lot about the Catholic Church's "man-made traditions." So when I was asked my opinion about the Elevation Church's Palm Sunday services (at least they had them) which involved the children waving orange glow sticks....I had one.
There's the background. In that orange glow stick opinion piece, I asked (with a link back to her blog) what Sister Mary Martha would think. Well apparently, Sister Mary Martha used her blog metering tool to figure out that I linked her and she emailed me and said that in a couple of days I would know what her opinion was. After I was done swooning that THE Sister Mary Martha had an opinion about something I had written...ok probably not what I had written but at least an opinion on what I had referenced and since she's a celebrity and all (feel free to vote for my blog too while you're there because you can vote for more than one)....I camped on her blog waiting for her opinion...and waited...and waited...and....you feeling sorry for me yet? Now I know that it might not have been the "real" Sister Mary Martha but I do have reason to believe that it was. I also know what it's like to have an idea for a blog post that doesn't quite make it to the posting stage in time to post it when it would be most appropriate. But I've waited almost a year and Lent is just around the corner and I see the potential to hear that opinion she's had bottled up inside of her for so long since it's the season to burn those glow sticks for ashes on Ash Wednesday. Anyone interested in that opinion besides me? I'm sure she'd like to hear it. [grin]
