Below is a video that plays a classical Mexican song. It was only written in the early 1950’s, but it is now as much a “requirement” for a Mexican artist to sing as is the song “Desperado” for a country and western artist. Anyway, here is a post that is somewhat lighter than my normal […]
Third World justice
We regularly are upset at the miscarriages of justice that occur on a regular basis in those parts of the world whose human rights principles are not as strong as they should be. Here is one case: A woman was attacked and raped in the early 1980’s. A suspect was quickly found and convicted, despite […]

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS ON YOUR SITE, HUW! I am very glad to repost it here.
Mythical Beasts — Political and Religious
The ancient world had many mythical beasts. The phoenix is one of my favorites: A phoenix is a mythical bird with a tail of beautiful gold and red plumage (or purple and blue, by some sources). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of […]

Good Samaritans and waiters/waitresses
This is actually a continuation of the last post because on the other blog, they are already up over 100 comments. One person posted and commented that the people that the New Testament is calling for us to help are the people within the Church, and only if there is enough left over are we […]
Christians, Rudeness, and lack of witness
I am cross posting the following quote from InternetMonk who got it from the blog Prayer Pilgrimage. My daughter, taking a break from her pursuit of a graduate degree, is a server at the Chili’s a few miles down from our house. Like many others her age she is already pretty critical of the church […]
Things are most alike when they are different
Sometimes we get so busy arguing with each other that we fail to realize the similarities in some of our approaches. Let’s take the issue of baptism. Should we baptize infants or should we not? Now, let me tell you ahead of time that I am fully and totally convinced that infant baptism is both […]
Description of too many Christians
Sometimes, the world of fiction gives us descriptions that are more incisive than many a theological description. Read the following excerpt from a fiction book that I am reading. The book is based in very early 20th century England, before WWI. But, see if the description does not actually fit far too many Christians of […]
