Yummy eats en route to Ohio
More back blogging from our Ohio trip, this photo from a vegan eatery a few miles off a rural Pennsylvania turnpike exit. Prices were steep and the homemade non-dairy ice cream servings small but we ate everything from our plates.

Cayahoga Valley Railroad trip, Akron to Peninsula...
Our our way out of Ohio the other week we took a scenic train ride. Kind of funny that the engines and cars both resemble current NJ Transit stock but hey, trains are always fun. A drizzly day made the two-hour layover in the historic-gone-touristy town of Peninsula, Ohio rather unpleasant (matters weren’t helped that the shoppes were mostly closed). We finally ducked into the lovely...

Johan M tackles the real problems within Friends... →
“The blunt reality: only by changing that majority will Friends succeed in changing FUM policies, and I see little likelihood that FUM’s critics will invite African and Caribbean Quakers.. into a serious. dialogue on sexuality and biblical ethics.”
Chronicler on spiritual gifts →
“[T]he purpose of spiritual gifts is to direct the recipient to Christ Jesus (the giver of the gift), not to the practitioner. Always measure thy faithfulness against thy calling â never measure
thy faithfulness against that of another person.”
Discovering Jesus Bill asks how many baptisms does... →
“The official answer, as given by the Faith and Practice statements of many Friends bodies, is that there is one baptism given directly by the Spirit… The answer from my experience with God is that it takes a lifetime of baptisms to be a Quaker.”

Jeanne on emotional honesty and plain speaking →
“Quakers sometimes get caught up in talking about doing things (or worse yet, talking about talking about doing things), rather than doing them. This used to frustrate me to no end; and I used to think that my frustration made me a bad Quaker.”
