[Magdalen] this morning at the Eucharist

[Lynn Ronkainen]

...ah 'other people's' growing up 'thing'?? I get that too....   : )

funny how so *many* things started going out the door in the '60s (for good 
or ill)... It's a different world. I am sometimes amazed that as much as 
most of us had a huge 'generation gap' with our parents, the ones faced by 
my generation and my kids is daunting in a way that even growing up in the 
'60s didn't prepare me for!

Lynn, who doesn't quite agree that if you remember the '60s you weren't 
really there.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
