Hello, Pastor!
I know this is not in line with this blog post, but I had to relate something to you that I just read on Internet news.
The bishop of Rome restated, today, his church's position that other Christian churches are not true churches in the traditional sense since we can not claim apostolic succession. I realize that I paraphrased it badly but, it gave me a chuckle. It also made me thank our God once again for helping me to see Scripture more clearly than ever...no amount of works or man-made traditions will ever be enough to save us, for we are saved only through the grace of God.
I realize your work keeps you more than busy but, if you ever have the time, would you mind addressing this issue in one of your posts? It makes me miss the old "Let's Talk About Jesus" program yet again!
Hey Paul! Excellent comment. I saw the same story about the Pope's statement. I happen to like a lot of what Benedict writes. In fact, I just bought his book "Jesus of Nazareth." But there is no question that he is the Roman pontiff. There is nothing new in his pronouncements. I will take your suggestion and blog on this either later today or tomorrow.
Sounds like you're on a crime kick for the moment. I did read an article about how CSI compares to real forensic units. I'd heard that many jurors today have been somewhat conditioned by CSI and other crime shows, and now they expect that kind of evidence in every case. This article from the New Yorker talks about how CSI science is holding up in courts today:

I've also been waiting for a music post, since we have some interests that overlap. I was waiting to tell you to check out Laura Veirs's latest album "Saltbreakers". It's got some catchy stuff on there. I think you should be able to listen to a few of the tracks here (otherwise you can get clips from Amazon or iTunes):

"Cast A Hook" was in my head for a couple weeks.
