Awesome Links are Indeed Awesome

2 weeks is too long to go without a new post. Cre and I are wed 6 months yesterday.

In celebration, a great, geeky link from my dear friend Ben Martin.

Waaaaa???

So wait, Mike Huckabee believes the Bible is the Word of the infinite God of the universe and believes - to quote a dear friend - "All that other stuff doesn't matter, cause I'm still trying to figure out how to love my neighbor." Hooray for a good word from a presidential candidate.

Today's Word for Life from the Brick Testament

I was reading an article in Catholic Biblical Quarterly on the issue of the historical Jesus and the Law. The article was addressing the complexity of tracing the influences on Christ's teachings from a historical perspective. Traditionally, Jesus' prohibition (or at least commentary) on the issue of divorce in Matthew has traditionally thought to be a commentary on the debate between the rabbinic schools of Hillel and Shammai as well as some consideration to teachings of Essenes on the subject (if indeed they had any). The point of the article was that its tough to track Jesus' comments back to even those "sources". Interesting read to say the least, particularly given some of my own research on the subject.

Anyway, to all you Christian divorcees out there, here's a playful fundy cartoon from the Brick Testament. Let's hope they're wrong

ps - I will still comment back on the church conversation. I've had too much going on at work to give it the time it deserves

Schrute Farms Bed and Breakfast

Here's a great little bit from Trip Advisor on the Schrute Beet Farm, "the number one beet-related agrotourism destination in Northeastern Pennsylvania". This is a great example of the recent trend to blur the line between reality and fantasy... of which I am a big fan. Plus, the office rocks.



Thanks to John Kleinschmidt for this link.

I am now voting for Mike Huckabee!

Happy Thanksgiving Week!

First, to my dear friends who have commented on the post from last week, I will be commenting back and continuing the conversation in the coming week. With guests in town this weekend (George F/S, my mother and brother tonight and tomorrow) I haven't had time to write. I will over the upcoming holiday weekend.

Sidenote: My Dad (cc'd on the email) commented back what wonderful friends I have. I couldn't agree more. Thank you for being a part of my/our life. Truly

In the meantime, cheers to parades and taking kids to parades. In celebration of George's visit and Kyle and Dawn's buying a house in Dillsburg, we all hung out this weekend. It was a weekend of too much food (Joel needs to get to his post-Thanksgiving diet soon) and good times with friends.

Here's Kyle, George, and I with the kids at the Harrisburg Holiday Parade on Saturday.
