Christian Carnival CXLVI is now up, hosted by Evangelical Ecologist. I’ll take a close look at it once my Threads and Participatory Bible Study blogs are back from the never-never land of server problems. I apologize to anyone who tried to come here while the server was down, but at this point we’re temporarily redirected…
Server problems have again struck this blog, and it’s temporarily redirected to another domain of mine. Continue to use your current domain and links as I hope to be changing everything back within the next day. In the meantime, all comments and so forth will be maintained here.
This is a long delayed continuation of my series on Isaiah 24-27, an early apocalypse. To get the background, look back at my entry on Isaiah 24 and possibly even follow the links there to my material on this topic on Threads from Henry’s Web. For those who may not want to follow the links…

About half of those independents who said…
Laura has posted some code to help add this important new blogroll to your site. Just head down to the bottom of that post to copy and paste. This blogroll is not just about this election. We wanted it to appear before this election, but we’ll be going straight into presidential issues leading up to…
I have just added two new members to the Moderate Christian Blogroll and aggregator. Check out the lists. That makes 19 members of that blogroll at this point. I hope it continues to grow. I am working on the aggregator. There are still some glitches which have to do with parsing what I want from…
