This Just In

I do have good news that I’ll share in another post.. The good news is that many people in my church attended a ‘black’ Church of Christ Sunday evening. There was a reception afterwards. A good time was had by all.

This morning feels weird and I think I figure out why. Just in time to take advantage of the post Da Vinci Code high, James Cameron (think Titanic director) claims to have found the tomb of Jesus and his family.

For the record, it is claimed that his son’s name was Judah. Some are already calling the disciple reclining on Jesus during the Lord’s Supper, Judah son of Jesus.

They did their homework, but you can judge for yourself on the Discovery Channel March 3.

Due to the vehement debate to follow in religious circles, no one will ever be able to substantiate this or disprove this with any certainty. Tis a shame, I guess. Moreover, some imaginary significance is going to be given to the cross symbol of the tomb purported to be Jesus’ tomb. And because this offers suggestions that Mary Magdalene was Jesus’ wife, I’m sure the whole issue of Dan Brown’s books being works of *fiction* will be endlessly hashed out.

Yet there is something that seems even more weird with today. I think that it is the knowledge that someone has invented a 101-gesture version of Rock,Paper,Scissors.

Between the two of them, I’m more worried about the Rock,Paper, Scissors game. It started with 5 gestures, but that appears to have been a gateway addiction. I can relate. Had he not done it first, I may have been tempted to try.

So if today feels especially strange, consider that Community (Sign 53) Gathers by Cross, Makes Money, Hunts Vampire, Finances Airplane, funds Helicopter, Plays Video Game and Survives Tornado, but Quicksand Threatens Community, Pit threatens Community, Rock solidifies Community, Death saddens community, and Wall surrounds Community. With 50 outcomes that win and 50 that loses, who can remember all of them.

Then again, Cross overcomes Death in this game and in real life. Maybe it’s not so strange after all.
