I remembered today something I told Ashley I was going to blog because it was so funny. Last week when a bunch of people from our church went to the yearly gathering of Friends World Conference on Consultation in Canby, Oregon, Ashley made this comment to me about our row of people from Freedom Friends Church: "We don't look like anyone else in the room. [Pause] I think it's your hair!" And she was right. No one else had hair in the room like mine. Very few Quakers do. Though I think Jaye's bald and boldly tattooed scalp would have given me a good run for my money if she had been there.
Speaking of money, we sold over 50 copies out of the 100 we printed of our Faith and Practice that night. By the next morning, we had sold 72/100. We just had them reprint 150 more that will be picked up by Peggy tomorrow. She has promised me I don't have to go back and print more until after the Quaker Youth Book Project Editorial Board meets in mid-April. (Though I won't hold you to that Peggy, if need be.) The more people who want to read it, the better. It's a great book! A blog about all the submissions I'm reading for the youth book project will be posted in a day or two. By the way- I still need hosts for John in Seattle, April 20-23rd, and in Portland the 23rd-25th, and for Emma in Portland for April 20-25th. Thanks!
