Some Reflections On Getting Out Into Nature

-



There’s a saying (in Norway, I think) where the winters get long: 
‘There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.’ 

Kinda fits with today’s rainy day reflection... See the next blog post for the new video I posted of the resultant poem.

Do We Really Have The Hard Facts?

-
What can we actually know about the real Jesus, the guy who walked this earth some 2000 years ago? Have layers of tradition inevitably changed and shaped the picture we now have of him? How reliable are the recorded accounts of the life of Jesus that are presented in the New Testament Gospels of the Bible today? Take a minute to watch this video consider things from the view of a forensic detective... When reading a modern English translation, we might get the nagging thought that we are so far removed from the original — realty, 2000 years is a long time since Jesus walked he earth!
