STICKY POST

In the Beginning

By Mick-E. Sunday, 16. July 2006, 02:49:11

Typical, I've got so much I want to say I don't know where to start.

I guess the first thing is a disclaimer, just to get it out of the way.

This is not a real church. or any attempt to start one. Just a joke that developed a life of it's own. So don't take it seriously, I'm not.

Aside from that... who knows?

To (mis)quote Spike Milligan "If we don't have a plan, then nothing can go wrong."

Anyway, This is just to give you all a chance to put your thinking caps on and come up with plenty of brilliant ideaa to celebrate.

Calling For Weather Vanes

By ALLY G.. Wednesday, 16. May 2007, 13:57:51

Photography, Walky, Walking, The Congregation

All people who loves outdoor activities, expecially we walkers and photographers

, are happy for nice and sunny weather.

Therefore it is important, to keep Walky in a good temper. What could we do for that?

Aha, we should post nice photos of some weather vanes, like Sister Sanshan and Brother Louis already did it.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
please, keep your eyes open and up: if you see a nice and exceptional weather vane,
don't hesitate to take a photo of it.

Then post your photo here in the group album "Sacred" Weather Vanes For Walky.

WOW(TM) XII

By Mick-E. Monday, 30. October 2006, 23:09:38

Walking, WOW, Announcements

One of the founding members of the church and our resident epicure, this WOW is overdue.

Not only has he taught that not all problems are bad - apart from unauthorised deck canoodlers - he has also coined (and copyrighted

) such memorable terms as sneep^TM and Feh^TM.

So if you're looking for a menu idea, some fashion pointers, gardening advice, a beautiful photo to brighten your day, or a posting that will make you smile - or think - or both. You can count on Brother hungryghost

WOW, Walking, Announcements

This Sister is the inspiration behind the creation of this church and she’s an active member in the congregation (Sometimes she even does some cleaning tasks!

)

She told us many walking stories and among the famous ones is the ascent of The Grind. in 1:10

Although she has recently moved and despite her busy schedule, she already began to walk us around her new a city.

So in Walky’s demand, let's all praise our new Walker of the Week,

the Singing Sister,

Sister San!

As Lola would add: PRRMEEEOWW!

Walker of the week VII

By Louis. Saturday, 16. September 2006, 11:18:46

Announcements, Walking, WOW

Indisputably the northernmost brother of the congregation, this Santa Claus neighbour lives in an austere but magnificent walking paradise.

Always in top shape, this member can easily make a 8 hours hike the day after a night of partying!

Some gossipers would say that he rather slide than walk but beware, his snowboard is Walky approved!

He is known as a good guy all over the Opera Community and now he is the proud of our church.

Let’s cheer for Duplo our new Walker of the week!

Walker of the week V

By Louis. Saturday, 2. September 2006, 11:06:29

Announcements, Walking, WOW

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I had a dream. And in that dream Walky came to me in the shape of a cat and he said: “GO TAKE A WALK AND DURING THIS WALK, THE WALKING OF THE WEEK WILL BE REVEAL TO YOU.”

I don’t want to annoy Walky

so I took the walk and when I reached the 5th Km, suddenly it all became clear :

This woman did not climb any glaciers or mountains recently, she's not renowned for walking many miles each day but the journey she went through in the past few months worth any walking marathons and instead of tumbling over all the obstacles she met, she kept her head high and overcome all those difficulties. She’s an example of optimism and perseverance for the congregation and she even proudly wears her Sister's title outside the church!

So to every Brothers and Sisters, it’s time to congratulate our Sister Spooksister our newest walker of the week.

Way to go Sister!

Walker of the Week IV

By San. Saturday, 26. August 2006, 05:20:49

WOW, Walking, Announcements

Walkie and his/her advisor

have yet again blessed us with a very deserving WOW. Here are some excerpts from this very avid walker's posts. Can you guess who it is?

...Again today I walked and walked and walked and took some photos too.

...I walk through Wall Street...

...I don't know many miles I've walked, again today, and I don't know how many miles I've walked on this trip so far. I should have bought a pedometer.

...First, I had to stop my visit because I could not stand on my feet anymore. After two days of extreme walking on concrete, I've reached my limit. (I think I prefer hiking Mt-Washington, it's easier on the feet than concrete!)

...and begin walk south.

...I don't know how many miles I walked today but tonight my feet hurt. It's really a walking vacation, the way I like it. In fact, it's the only thing I did today walking and taking some photos.

...This morning I went to Cambridge and walk on the Harvard University Campus. With this heat, it felt good walking on the lawn under the big trees.

...After my meal I went walking

...Wow! My legs are burned. After my yesterday's hike and my today's walk in Downtown Boston, I'm glad to be in a motel room on a cosy bed with A/C.

...it was a demanding walk but it went well.

You think this member of our congregation is trying to tell us something? Brother Louis, looks like you went on a walking crusade for all of us! Are you vying for sainthood?

Let us bow our heads for our new Walker of the Week, and let his words inspire us all. Praise be and walk on and on and on.

A Sermon from the Trail

By Mick-E. Sunday, 20. August 2006, 12:39:25

fun, nature, philosophy, prayer ...

'Specially for Sister San

While the Body Roams, the Mind Wanders

When I want to think, I go out walking. I start out taking in my surroundings, enjoying the the sun and the sky, the scenery, the wildlife, and being out in nature. But as I go I start to leave this all behind. The world fades into the background and I put my body on autopilot. Then I'm ready to let my mind slip its lead.

I think about life in general and nothing in particular.
I think about past regrets and future hopes.
I think about plans for supper, for tomorrow, for the rest of my life.
I think about friends and family and what they mean to me.
I think about good times and bad.
I think about lost loves, and the ones I haven't found yet.
I think about the simple pleasure of putting one foot in front of the other and travelling under my own power.
After a while, I start to think about blisters.
And finally, when I'm out of trail, or out of time, or out of breathe - I stop and think how lucky I am.

WOW

By San. Saturday, 19. August 2006, 16:38:43

WOW, Walking, Announcements

Based on her positive outlook on life and slightly esoteric posts…this weeks Walker of the week is….. wickedlizard ! Just don't call her a geek! She's just different. She's our "witchy" member who can brew up some herbal medicine for our aching bones after a long walk. She loves music and theatre. She's a worldly soul and a welcome member to our club.....let it be said on this day that wickedlizard is our newest WOW. Congratulations!

Here is proof that she actually walks...
