I decided to try making Dove Knots for the first time this year. Online recipes mentioned that they keep their shape better if they don't rise too much so I used the same dough as my ever fraught egg bread, but a half recipe

Birb

Getting the hang of it

Ended up with eight of various qualities. If I'd been thinking about it I would have gone for seven to represent the seven Gifts of the Spirit, but Oh Well

I used big ol black sprinkles for eyes, but I am afraid it's giving more Worm on a String than God as a Dove

Into the oven wit ye!

Yesterday was Pentecost. Our advocate the Holy Ghost is out haunting the streets. She is anointing the heads of her apostles and they are speaking in tongues of righteous rage, of Love that refuses to look away, of compassion and protection. Christ is in the crowd, overturning tables and driving out agents of greed and evil. The young are having visions of what will happen if power is left unchecked and the old are dreaming dreams of justice.

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. In this Bible story, Jesus has ascended to heaven and sent the Holy Spirit to bless a roomful of His disciples. Among them are Mary and the apostles. At the arrival of the Spirit, which enters the room like rushing wind and trails of fire, the disciples begin speaking in tongues. At the sound of the Spirit, Jews from every nation, who were staying in Jerusalem during the holiday, crowd around the disciples and hear them speaking. Through the power of the Spirit, each person hears the disciples in his own native language and wonders how this can be. 2. In this cartoon, the 2nd and 3rd panels are straight quotes from the Bible. While the full quote in the Bible version is supposed to be the collective thoughts of everyone in the crowd, I've authoritatively reinterpreted it as the monologuing of a single person, who just so happens to have kept track of the nationality of everyone in the crowd. 3. At the end of the cartoon, the listless lister's daughter berates him for just clumsily spouting exposition (as in "details necessary to understand a story").
