Odds and Ends.

Some times you come across stuff that makes you wonder exactly what people they thinking. Well to that end, here are a just a few interesting tidbits from the blog world over the past week or so. Enjoy, my friends...

Jim West asks the question of where exactly Saul got the idea of demanding a pile of foreskins from David as a bridal price. Good question. While I've never really thought too much about it, its got to make you wonder - what exactly was Saul thinking?

Dan Kimball shares about his little adventure at The Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Florida. Yeah, a "Biblical"-themed amusement park including, believe it or not, mini-musicals featuring singing Roman soldiers.

Don't know if you saw this one, but a Christian group in San Diego is outraged about the new retro-style Starbucks logo on their cups, saying they are indecent. Really, I'm not making this stuff up. [HT: Chris Brady]

I just read Dan's post...made me sick...that's all I can say! How much more trivialized can the Kingdom get and what a complete "sell out" to materialism...not primarily the money part but the whole idea that you have to see to believe...oh well, I guess when Jesus said something about people being blessed if they DIDN'T see yet believed, he never envisioned the park being built. Maybe Jesus just should have said, "yeah, it is good to believe without seeing now only because you are not living in the 21st century where you could see everything clearly for $50 admission fee".

Miss you too...isn't it interesting where we have ended up! I do admit though I would rather deal in the wine business than in death...unless it was "death by wine". that would work!

Love ya,
ME

I found you via Facebook. Love it here. Can't wait to swing by Amazing Grapes.
And thanks for posting a link to the foreskin issue... that's been frustrating me for years.
