New Disqus Comments plugin
In a nutshell I want people to be able to leave comments without me having to "approve" them - they appear immediately. But I also want to keep out spam. The anti-spam module for some reason was marking all comments - including my own - as spam. I have since added the Disqus plugin which hopefully will allow anyone with a free Disqus account to be able to leave comments that appear immediately. So far it appears to be working nicely.-

Thanks to my good friend Chris Brady who is dean of Schreyer Honors College at Penn State University. His recent post “I write like lots of folks (and reflections on biblical scholarship)” in which he runs a few samples of … Continue reading

And now something completely different – original Star Wars movies in 4 minutes

Not feeling the warm liberal fuzziness (or) "Bleep you and die Senator Lieberman!"
This may cross a line. There is a man I love and respect – whom I regard as a better man/husband/father/minister than I am – whose social-political views are often very different from mine. We are “friends” on Facebook. He … Continue reading
