I’m reading a book on the earliest, Palestinian followers of Jesus and I’m amazed how much we can know from the shortest writing in the New Testament.

Jude is a single chapter, 20-something verses. Yet we get so much information on maybe some of the earliest beliefs. Maybe even an eyewitness

Had a principal tell me they weren’t renewing my contract with the school the following year because of budget cuts. Then he threatened to fire me when I told a parent after an email went out without me listed on it.

Anyway that principal is now divorced and doesn’t have custody of his kids.

I was not aware how much early church writing showed there was believed to be a genetic link between Jesus’ mother and King David.
She also descended from a priestly line.

It’s amazing how much more interesting the people are that you hear about when you invest in actually learning about them.

John lists one of the women at the cross as Mary, mother of James the Little and Joses”.

I think β€œthe little” title for James can show its Jesus’ brother(s).

Luke 19 has the story of Zacchaeus who can’t see Jesus through the crowd β€œbecause he was short”. If the β€œhe” that’s short is Jesus, well…

Booo…shady landlords would constantly tell me my checks bounced when I definitely had money in the account. Then they’d demand cash with a fee on top. Leeches.

Dr Oz isn’t mincing words, he’s stating the regime’s eugenicist goals loud & clear

β€œWant to drop the cost of healthcare in America? Get healthy”

Where does that leave disabled and chronically ill people?

We can’t β€œchoose” to get healthy.

They have no plan for healthcare.

Their plan is eugenics

Mark’s use of β€œagapé” at 12:28-31 speaks of loving God by giving him your everything; heart, soul, mind, and strength. Then it is commanded we love our neighbor as ourselves, and not just people in your own community. It also mean the alien (Ex 12:49, Deut 10:19).

A job I applied for is seriously considering me for the position. Problem is, I just read over the job description and it requires me to fundraise my own salary.

So a 40 hour/week job where I need to do additional work asking people to donate money to the org so I can get paid. Great.

Read the reviews for James D. Tabor’s β€œthe Lost Mary” and the negative ones mostly come from the audiobook where they complain the narrator is boring.

It’s a non-fiction book attempting to show the human Mary, mother of Jesus. The narrator is the author. Did they expect sound effects too?

Chiuck Schumer:
attempted οΏΌa strategic play, which failed miserably

OR

couldn’t unify democratic senators for one of the most consequential votes of our time.

Either scenario warrants Chuck Schumer’s replacement as Senate minority leader.
