I bumped into a group that I know, and asked what was going on, and was told, with beaming smiles, that
"Today is MUFTI DAY"
Mufti wishes to thank her devoted public for this sign of recognition of her central importance in all things, and will be giving audiences in the Curate's study by appointment throughout the day.
Edit; explanatory note for More Cows and others....Mufti = British Raj slang for " Civilian dress, especially when worn by one who normally wears a uniform. "...It was chosen by HG as the name of her puppy-with-a-posh-pedigree and kennel-name to match, so that on state (uniform) occasions the dog concerned might be known as Wyafon Kawarra but the rest of the time, in her everyday clothes, she's "Mufti".
Hurray for Mufti!
ReplyDeletei plead ignorance- mufti?
ReplyDeleteand holy cow- 7:30 eucharist! after being sick all week esp!
and... i can't deciper your encoded e-mail address my way. i'd love to add you to my friends on facebook, though.
God looks content with his day of adoration - but what a wonderful word Mufti is -soooo much more evocative than "non-uniform" day. Brings back wonderful memories of my first Head of Division (an ex military man turned priest) who could never get used ot my more informal ( youth worker) style of dress at CMS HQ and would walk past me on the days when I forgot to wear a tie and say " Good Mufti morning" what a brilliant word - I assume it has military origins.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure about mufti either. Thanks for the explanation. Clever name for a pedigreed pooch!
ReplyDeleteIn response to your question, space is the one thing we have in abundance in West Texas. Sometimes you can't even give the land away. ha ha! However, the portion of the cemetery in that picture was new, so not many burials there. It will fill up more as time goes by. However, we never have to worry about overcrowding in our cities of the dead. Not yet, anyway. My town/county is celebrating it's centenial this year, so there's not been hundreds of years of dead folks to muck up the landscape. *grins*
I agree with Songbird --
ReplyDeleteHurray for Mufti!
rev mommy who is not going to sign on on a public computer and risk serious hijacking of all her accounts.....
God of course should read God - now you know why I am a dyslexic Vicar!
ReplyDeleteNow lets see if I can get the word verification right at the first attempt?

ReplyDeleteRight this time?

Tom - without any dyslexia lurking, my sermons far too often contain references to Dog and all Dog's works...so this was simply redressing the balance ;-)
