It’s a Shame about Shame

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

I was trapped in a waiting room at a garage one day while my credit card bill was being increased exponentially by an auto mechanic.  As is customary, the television set was on and I half listened/watched it while I read a book.  Since others were actually watching the day-time drivel, I did not change [...]

Dance (Around Moses) Like An Egyptian

Monday, August 28th, 2006

One thing I love about Cleveland is the ethnic diversity; at least as that ethnic diversity relates to food!  During the summer and early fall, the Cleveland area is host to at least 100 ethnic festivals, each with its own variety of folk dishes, delicacies, music, and dancing.  Since most of these festivals are held [...]

Layoffs in the Global Economy

Friday, August 25th, 2006

It is now truly a Global economy. Unfortunately, that economy is sharing all of our current woes and instabilities. It appears even the solar system is being downsized. Officially, Pluto has now been fired as a planet. However, the move may be part of a hostile takeover bid. Rumors are that he will be replaced [...]

Review: Social Science Commentary on the Letters of Paul

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

It is no secret that I am a big supporter of the Context Group of scholars.  I refer to their writings often in posts on this site. I have even dedicated much of my spare time to making a Bible version based on their writings and ideas (The Context Group Version). The Context Group analyze [...]

How to Terrorize a Terrorist

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

While my family was visiting our former pastor in Michigan this weekend, we heard of the current terrorist plot to down a large number of airplanes over America.  We were a bit rattled and it caused  my wife a number of sleepless nights.  However, since the plot was foiled (at least for now) we decided [...]

Update to the Context Group Version (2.0)

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

I am going to take some time off from blogging for a week or so to get in some R&R before the summer disappears. However I am not going to leave you as orphans.  My new, updated, version 2.0 of the Context Group Version Bible has been completed.  It is the most comprehensive update that [...]

Got Holy?

Monday, August 7th, 2006

My family attended The Fest this weekend.  The Fest is one of the best Christian music festivals in the northeast Ohio area.  It has two curious features that make it stand out from the competition: 1) its free; and 2) it is entirely run and organized by Roman Catholics.  The first was the major draw [...]
