Douglas Mangum's Roundup on the Qeiyafa Ostracon Buzz
I had thought about doing this myself since there were so many posts about it, but Doug did a great service in producing this roundup. And, I don’t feel the need to double up. So, if you want to read what everyone has been saying about potentially the oldest Hebrew inscription found to date, read…

Claude Mariottini on Roman Catholic Womenpriests
Dr. Claude Mariottini has recently linked to an interesting article on Roman Catholic Womenpriests. Go over to his blog to check it out. But, also to add a bit to the discussion, lay people are often somewhat surprised when I inform them that women were allowed to take the Nazirite vow in the Old Testament. …

It's National Hebrew Day
Heard this story about National Hebrew Day on The World (not in America I suppose) just a couple of minutes ago. Very cool! If you’ve got a few minutes make sure to go over there and listen. Now, to think of a way to celebrate … Related: Free Hebrew and Greek Courses on iTunes U…

Madeleine Off Camera
Madeleine fancies herself a news reporter with a mean hand okay punch (or whatever), but here’s what she’s really like off camera. Had to have a hair color change and a move after this one. Madeleine Blows Up Related: More Music Joel Likes … Do You Read Joel’s Blog? Of Course You Don’t … Joel…

James McGrath has Piqued My Interest in the "The Human Spark"
James has just posted about a show on PBS called the “Human Spark.” It sounds very interesting.

And yet this show was all about human…

Almost #1 on Old Testament Hemorrhoids

Psalm 72 – The King Worthy of Homage
I wrote yesterday about how the lectionary obliterated a bit of beautiful imagery. It doesn’t do a great job with today’s response either, which is the middle-latter portion of Psalm 72. The focus of this part of the Psalm is upon the king who is worthy of homage and dominion in verses 8-11. Psalm 72:8-11…

Kill Them All – Man, Woman & Child … But, Not Really
Okay, I’m being a little facetious with the title to this post. But, it’s so hard to write good title lines without doing that from time to time. At any rate, Matt over at MandM has recently written on the “commands to commit genocide” in the Book of Joshua. One matter he brings up is…

If Anyone Knows Who is on the Glenn Beck Show, It's Joel …
Okay a couple points of fact here. Joel has doctored an image to have me appear as hosting the Glenn Beck Show. But, if anyone knows that isn’t true, it’s Joel because we all know he watches daily (if that’s even how often Beck comes on … I wouldn’t know). And, how do we know…
