I laugh every time I see the advertisement for the “snuggie.”I don’t know
if it is the images and voice overs that makes it funny or simply the product.
So when I went to review it on youtube, I was pleasantly surprised to see
a number of paraodies, such as the “the cult of Snuggie.” Also I happened
upon another product, the “Slanket.”

I laughed so hard at the images of this guy at a baseball game with his
“slanket” on. I have no idea whether the “slanket” exists or not. But I love
the name of the product.

So as our nation appears to be falling on hard times, we are seeking some
comfort. However not in the form of a hug from another human being,
but rather in a blanket with sleeves. Hopefully four of them will be waiting
on Pennsylvania Avenune to welcome the President Elect and his family.

I am standing in an elevator. I am surrounded by several people standing almost in a line. All of them are texting. Their heads are down and their thumbs are in motion. My mind starts flashing back to standing in line for Holy Communion. Since I haven’t been to church in awhile, I wonder if people text while standing in line for Communion. If so, how far does the texting go?

Does the priest text the message, “body of Christ?” And what about confession-it is my understanding that most people prefer to talk with a priest face to face. Would texting be an option for those who wish to have no close contact with a priest. And this includes not spending time on your knees with a priest in a dark room and nothing but a darkened screen between you. It sounds dirtier than I intended it to be.
