Ach, so vell done! It makes me to laugh! Everyone knows the King of Funk didn’t write the Harmonia Sacra. He wrote the Mennonite Hymnal. (Red one, of course, not Blue)

I think Beachys use sarcasm for more than just referring to global warming. In fact, I sometimes think maybe we’re too sarcastic. This blog is an example of an extreme.

I heard someone died within the last several months. The exact date was unknown, so no funeral was arranged. The persons last words were written on February 5, 2010
