Just a few random thoughts.

I came across a website the other day that is worth a visit. It is basically bible stories with Lego's. Great concept. The interesting part is that it was made by an athiest, and I think that he just wanted people to see just how dumb the Bible. But I think he misjudged and just showed people how great it was! Fun stuff.

For those local Theoblogians, I just heard that the NW ETS will be at NBS this year. So that means you have no excuse for not being there. At least not as far as distance. Chisholm is going to be the plenary speaker, perhaps giving one of the papers he gave at the national ETS this year. March 4 is date. I'm trying to decide what paper I want to try and present. Should I be controversial or just fun?

And on a personal note, we just found out my wife is pregnant! Hurray! Very exciting. Be happy for us.

Congratulations

A new baby theoblogian!

That lego site is a riot! How do you know the Rev. is an atheist? On his FAQ he says that his desire is to be true to the Bible.

So are you inviting hecklers to your ETS presentation?

Congratulations all around

Charlie,

Congratulations!  That is welcome news.  Any chances the child will be born with a fully-formed paternal goatee?

My wife and I recently found out that she is pregnant also.  We are anticipating a late July due date.

I have enjoyed the Lego site, but I would be very careful of passing it out willy-nilly.  It has some interpretations that seem driven by a determination to do graphic things with Legos that in a few cases cross some distinct lines.  Some people might be rather appalled by certain depictions.  The rating system he uses is helpful in this case. 

I do think it is quite intriguing and enjoyable.  I agree with Charlie that if his object was to mock or belittle, it was a complete failure (if you will grant a translation theory that encompasses a Lego version of the Bible - would this be the LIV?).
