After 40 years in the desert, man-lace is finding it's way back.
1: Desert Fathers.
2: "No, the burning bush was over more to the left!"
Peace,

Your Excellency, let's face it, we're lost and this is penance for not responding to Pelosi-Gate.
This loyal altar server will follow the blind bishop anywhere, even if he keeps wandering 500 miles out of town after the recessional.
Acolyte: The map the Franciscan's gave us doesn't show all this desert area between here and New Mexico.
Bishop: Hmmm, take a note: Locate small airplane and pilot for our next weekly trip between Phoenix and Gallup. And keep praying for a new Bishop for Gallup.
...looking for the Spirit of Vatican II...
"You shall cross the barren desert & you shall not be afraid."
"Tumbling along with the tumbling tumble weeds."
"And over there is where Brother Francis found the relics of St. Leibowitz."
Hmmmm, the distance looked much smaller on the map.
no way I can top any of these submitted so far. Bravo, all.
...looking for the Spirit of Vatican II...
heh. That would get my vote if I had one.
It happens to every seminarian at least once: honored to be asked to drive the bishop to confirmation, and then forgetting where they parked.
Now, over there on the left, we are growing our premium crop.We anticipate an extraordinary yield this year as weather conditions have been perfect for the weed.
I am glad that I was not the only one to think of 'A Canticle for Leibowitz,' when first seeing this picture. Great suggestion Scott W!
What are you guys smokin'?
Bishop Guido Sarducci tells his godson that he'd be glad to 'take care' of Speaker Pelosi for his good friend Niederauer.
If you bless it, they will congregate.
Unlike Batman, Father couldn't get that sonar thing to work.
Dobbs, you fool!!!
[only those who saw Treasure of the Sierra Madre will get it, and maybe not then :-)]
Jed, there are about six more over there towards the west, and a few more over here.We're gonna be making MILLIONS. They say about 11 million per well. Whoopee, Gironamo...no more bingo,carnivals or tag sales.
I know I left my crozier near here.
We found another entry over there, and the border patrol has spotting yet another underground tunnel.Padre, we just gotta make that fence higher.They are eating us out of house and home not to mention REALLY disturbing my quiet time!I just Have to have my QUIET TIME. I NEED my SPACE. My cactus was stolen last nite too.Bummer,Father.
"Yes, your Excellency, I _know_ He said, 'to the ends of the earth,' but can we _please_ go home now?"
Dry BONES,ARISE! Uh, Father, you're preaching to the choir. But I am not advocating world-movements or public meetings---my appeal is rather to the individual conscience than to the public ear; my hope is rather to see the emergence of a Saint, than that of an organisation--Should we not be asking for more SAINTS? LIVING SAINTS? Now, where did you say those oil wells are?
Quick,Father, jump, there's a rattle snake about to bite your...---"Very funny,Darius, you tried that already yesterday and I'm not falling for your silly pranks anymore.You are still assigned for the over night desert camping trip with the youth group,sorry."
With all due respect Your Grace, can you please just admit you forgot where you parked the car?
Actually, first line of "Be Not Afraid" is "You will cross the barren dessert, but you will not die of thirst!"
What are you guys smokin'?
Wasn't that your caption for the previus pic?
1) Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death....
2) Looking for John the Baptist
3) OK, let's find those dry bones so we can prophesy...
"Hey Moses..wait up!"
Goats to the left.
I think liturgical East is more that way.
The heretical bishop's irragation
system relies on faith alone.
"But Father, 40 years?...but I told my mom I'd be home by supper!"
"Someday, Son, when you're a pastor, you can build your sprawling, shopping mall style church over THERE....."
Excellency, lent does not require an actual desert.
Uh, hold on, your Excellency, I've just been told we've gone too far left.
I told you the Junipero Serra reenactment was a bad idea.
"TAXI!"
"NO WATER! WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO WATER?!..HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BAPTIZE TODAY WITHOUT NO WATER?!
What are you guys smokin'?
Menudos.
What are you guys smokin'?
Right now, I part way into a tin of MacBaren's HH Vintage Syrian. I find the Syrian variety of latakia smoother than the Cyprian. An excellent smoke.
A voice, crying in the wilderness: "Confound it, Father O'Malley, we ARE lost!"
"This parish looks so vibrant and renewed!"

Well,Panda Rose, I never thought that I would say it, but I miss W.R.C.!
Anon, me too!
Sorry folks! These last number of photos have been hosted on Flickr, and my work internet server chews up Flickr and blocks the photos. I promise to do better about checking AmP when I get home.
Justin Burgard -n- Rob win my vote :) !
Wait.
I just re-read that.
But you never thought you'd say it?
Man, that's cold.
