The Way of the Brother: How Critics Missed the... →
The film is disingenuous—or rather the marketing for it is—as it suggests that we make a choice between nature and grace. One reviewer suggests that it’s about the middle way, about the redemption of siblings.
Watching this film was almost a mystical experience; seemed to me very profound but couldn’t quite figure it all out….

The rise of smart phones and WiFi mean we can now work from anywhere. Should that turn the entire built environment into an office?

How the Bible Is God’s Word [Questions That Haunt] →
The orthodox Christian answer — and one with which I concur — is that the Bible is not actually God’s word. Jesus the Christ is God’s Word, and the Bible is the unique testimony to Jesus. Insofar as the Bible witnesses to God’s revelation of Godself in Jesus of Nazareth, then the Bible is the testimony to the Word of God — but the Bible in and of itself is not God’s word.

I object when fundamentalism is viewed as orthodox. We have to claim the Bible as our own territory in which fundamentalism is a trespasser.

Here’s another good TED talk about the microbial ecosystem we live in or as the speaker says “the microbes that live on us and in us” http://goo.gl/34ycC

Our bodies and homes are covered in microbes — some good for us, some bad for us. As we learn more about the germs and microbes who share our living spaces, TED Fellow Jessica Green asks: Can we design buildings that encourage happy, healthy microbial environments?

My wife is a very practical minded woman too, but she does like her diamond….
