Letter to Paul ( and to Augustine) from a "Roman" about 2 Cats
by kepler indear paul ( and if he is on the same cc-list, augustine, the one from hippo),.
i have read your epistles to the various cities and christian communities with understandable and overall interest, but while i was contemplating the behavior of our two household felines, i was brought back in particular to your comments in romans 5:11-21.. it is understood that you had written this piece to interpret the meaning of events described in the as yet unwritten accounts given in the gospels.
and also you had written these letters with a sense of urgency in as you sensed the end of this order was imminent, within a few years.

Summer Reading: "The Reformatin - A History", If you're busy, I can let you know how it ends.
by kepler inthere's something of a random walk in jumping from one used book to another.
the closest previous relations to the above were different media: the bbc/pbs series of broadcasts about thomas cromwell in henry viii's court, a fixer for introducing miss boleyn and then removing her from circulation.
and then what i expected to be a sentimental journey through the history of ireland ( the isle to the west of tudorland) by an emigre to america, malachy mccourt.

Broadcast on BBC News Service to America: Heart & Soul, Witness Protection
by kepler insorry about the delay on this, but about a week ago (sunday night?
) at 11:30 central daylight savings time in the us, the bbc news service broadcast provided an in-depth discussion of witness policy, law-suits and criminal proceedings in matters of child abuse, logs of incidents not shared with local authorities and disfellowships.
it was practically the sort of story that many correspondents on this forum have waited years to hear.

Lucifer:" Care for a light, anyone?" John Calvin: "No, thank you."
by kepler inabout a week or so ago, this old subject came up again within the family.
none of us were jws, but i see evidence that many have mulled this subject over too.
and then were a couple of remarkable coincidences.. but my less than casual reading of isaiah and ezekiel was reference to nebuchadnezzar and the king of tyre respectively.

Meet Baruch the Scribe of Jeremiah - and Nebuchadnezzar's Son
by kepler ini just found another instance of belshazzar being referred to as the "son of nebuchadnezzar".
