Here Is a New Wrinkle - Pickering on the KJV Bible

 

"Full of sound and fury...the anti-KJV partisans.

I am finishing Lutheran Christina, Memories about a Pastor's Wife, with some speed now. When that book is done, I will revise The Bible Book for a second edition.

One of the benefits of sending around the first edition is having a lot of reaction and suggestions. One was to look up Wilbur Pickering, a new author for me, so I ordered three Pickering titles from Alibris, my main supplier of low cost (but usually new in quality) theology books. I also buy military and American Indian books from Alibris. They have almost everything.

I wanted to post this because the organist (name withheld) looks for the final post of the day. Also, the Indian specialist favors Pickering. No, I have not read all three books... yet.

The more I study the KJV issue, the more I see how idiotic and puerile the anti-KJV Jabberwockies are. Their only argument is ridicule, absent the facts. The second edition will be a lot of fun to write.

St. Sebastian in the Autumn Bulb Market - And Clearance Plants! Oh My!

 

 Humpback Whale Hosta

Working on Lutheran Christina, I realized my need to post a health and wellness article, so people do not start writing and phoning, "Are you OK? It is 6 AM and you have not published anything today."

I get multiple emails per vendor per day about my need to buy their plants and bulbs. I am almost immune, because my email folder for gardening shows what is coming. Direct Gardening does tempt me to set up some plants that will be useful in the spring, if the critters do not eat them.

Hosta prices can vary widely. I have plenty of them to move from the sunny Rose Garden to the shadier areas in the back. The crew and I took out the unwanted plants and upstart trees behind the house. That opened up two gardens for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Months ago I ordered the folio sized Humpback Whale hostas to dominate the back side of our house.

Saturday I planted five beautiful Humpback Whale Hostas. The ground was either cleared down to roots (outside the bedroom) or covered with bags of leaves and mulch (outside the kitchen). Given the enormous potential for the hosta plants, I gave them plenty of room next to the house. 

 Patriot Hostas will move to the back, to enjoy more shade and water.
