Ancient History - Fooling Us All?

 

Tom Fisher's sheep teach us about the 500 examples of sheep and shepherding in the Bible.

Boomers grew up with ancient history, limited by texts with tiny print and classes with dreadful movie projectors. Now we can enjoy vast technology topics with all the best information, color, sound, and...that has slipped away.

I decided to warn the entire planet about how little we know about the past, the rise and fall of great empires. Do not read St. John's Revelation if people fail to realize the tapestry of nations - I took English History 101. Those artistic marvels teach England and the world with enormous detail - not accidental.


New Interest in Mary as a Priest

 


Once upon a time Ichabod had a big run on a particular post. That involved the concept of Jesus' mother "offering Jesus as a sacrifice" and serving the Holy Mother as a priest. One astute reader complained that I was drawing attention to use for Lutherans.

The Church of Rome is encouraging more Marian interest, doubtless because of the starving mainline Protestants. One can only shake so many pine branches and smoke pots for thrills.
