Happy fifth birthday to this book, where I argue Ecclesiastes best makes sense when read as alternating panels of first-person observation and wisdom, with the verb ראה (to see) as the key.
I’d love to know what you thought of my argument - ask your librarian to grab a copy.

I don't think many non bots are still around, but if you are, I've been at the other place a while now. See you there! duck5.bsky.social

As Cold Play is in town, I heard someone call up the radio this morning to provide a glowing report on their pastor who regularly plays them as part of his services for inspiration.
Jesus (along with everyone of good musical taste) wept.

I'm heading to Berlin in a month to help at a friend's church, and I'm prepping to preach through Jonah
I'm already working on bilingual rhymes/puns/alliteration; right now I just have 1:4 Sovereign over the sea (Herr über den Meer) but if you have any thoughts lemme know

Two things:
1. I’m glad Life of Brian made it - VII seems a little low still for that gem.
2. Titus (Andronicus) not on the list at all? I found it troubling and transfixing and unforgettable.

I think I’m convinced that the “list of widows” in 1 Timothy 5:9 is taking about something like an order of widows who organise the service to needy widows in the community (rather than the list of the needy widows).

You see evidence for something like that at the end of Acts 9 where there is mention of both “believers and widows”. The widows are the ones who were caring for Tabitha/Dorcas, and maybe she was even one of them.
