I think I would like to be a monk. I really considered Catholicism a few years ago, but there were some things that I just couldn't reconcile. It's hard to recruit people to a religious order, though. But Beaker and I pooled our resources and have set a salary for ourselves, and whatever comes beyond that we give back to the kingdom of God. We have a lot in common, a lot of things we don't particularly like about ourselves, but we help each other stay in line and are a good support system for each other.
Beaker always agrees.
I've always hated authority - I hated Bible college. But Rich has really been a great influence for me because he really believes in the Church. Thus was born The Kid Brothers of St. Frank - as in Francis, but more, uh, contemporary. It's the Kid Brothers who are ministering at the BYF Convention in Ohio, and it's all they do throughout the spring and fall. Summer will include more of a traditional artist-oriented tour.
