On an earlier post on healthcare, the following line was posted, “The Popes and Patriarchs ought stick to matters of faith and leave economic and healthcare decisions to experts in the field.” This is a classic line that is used whenever the Church’s teachings hit close to home. In fact, exactly the same line has […]
Mother is healing
Well, I keep saying that I am going to blog soon, but I have been in Miami. My mother is in ICU but healing well. So, maybe tomorrow, and if not by Monday, I will get back to blogging. Thanks to those of you who have been praying.
Posting delayed
My 84 year old mother had bowel surgery yesterday, about three hours away from where I live, so I was out all day with her. I finally arrived at home after midnight today. She is now in Intensive Care recuperating, but, they expect her to be home next week. I will probably not post today. […]

The below comes from this website: Top ten signs that you might be an Orthodox Christian You might be Orthodox if… * 10. You are still in church more than ten minutes after the priest says, “Let us depart in peace.” * 9. You forget to change your clock in the spring at Daylight Savings […]
About specialty Bibles
Recently I read an advertisement for a new Bible. It is published by Thomas Nelson, Inc., the same people who publish the Orthodox Study Bible. But, this one caught my attention. It is The American Patriot’s Bible. The blurb for it reads: THE ONE BIBLE THAT SHOWS HOW ‘A LIGHT FROM ABOVE’ SHAPED OUR NATION. […]

Well, the charismatic movement never had a big influence […]

Mamma Mia! And memories
So, I have now seen the Mamma Mia! movie for the third time. And, because I am the same age as Sophia’s parents and because I like the music of ABBA, it appeals to me. But, I found myself catching one line, when the three putative fathers and Sophie are out on the boat reminiscing […]
Of Bible, interpretation, and Supreme Court judges, part 07
Here is the bottom line of what I have been saying. In almost all scholarly fields, when questions of knowledge come up that are hard to solve, they are referred to a group that represents the community. The larger the “truth” that is being debated, the larger and more representative is the group to which the argument is […]
Of Bible, interpretation, and Supreme Court judges, part 06
So, what solutions have the law, science, and, yes, the Church come up with in order to minimize bias and misinterpretation? Yes, what do all three fields share in common as a way to overcome the inherent bias of humans? Interestingly enough, all three fields have “developed” the use of a panel of multiple people […]
