I am back! Facebook is driving me crazy so let's tweet!

[Rev. Lou Harper @revlou]

Instead of all the jaw-flapping about gun control, let us start to hold accountable those mental health professionals that are "unavailable"

[Rev. Lou Harper @revlou]

@Sanderson1971 I am so sorry that police presence is necessary at your schools. Mental health professionals need to heed this warning!

[Rev. Lou Harper @revlou]

Hurricane Sandy; a little wind, a little rain, a whole lot of chaos. (this message sponsored by the Maine Milk Commission & Duracell.

[Rev. Lou Harper @revlou]

@Sanderson1971 It may hit 50, if we are lucky, today. Right around 30 most nights. We won't see 70 up north here until next 4th of July.

[Rev. Lou Harper @revlou]

Last Tweet was about dandelions and rhubarb. Summer flew by and now we have had our first snowfall. 3 inches is not a blizzard but a start

[Rev. Lou Harper @revlou]

Rhubarb and dandelion greens: cures for spring fever. Now, if we just had cures for the "summer complaints": mosquitoes & tourists.

[Rev. Lou Harper @revlou]

Summer has arrived in the woods of Maine. You can tell because the pot-holes are larger, the black flies and "summer people" have arrived.

Another nice day after another 4 inches of snow. It cooled off nice last night to -5 degrees. Might hit +10 today. Got to shovel, anyway.

[Rev. Lou Harper @revlou]

News is slow. We will find that it is also fairly inaccurate. Let us pray that we learned from 9/11. Japan has lost much infrastructure.

[Rev. Lou Harper @revlou]

The United Church of Christ has 3 missionaries in Japan. I wrote Judy Chan, Hong Kong Council of Churches. Let us pray until we get news.

No, there is no difference between vocal and instrumental improvization, only that the valves are more difficult to push down in vocal.

"Improviszation, we don't need no (expletive deleted) improvisation." student, 2010

"We take a perfectly good preacher and educate them to be so afraid they don't dare open their mouth." Rev. Dr. Glenn Miller, 1994

[Rev. Lou Harper @revlou]

"We educate children, and in doing so quickly remove their spontaneity." This is a paraphrase of Tony Bok, in 1972
