The Birthday Girl

That it has been a while since I posted in my blog. That is what happens when one has Facebook. Anyway I am here just for now.
Today we went walkabout to Kananook Creek Boulevard redevelopment. It was one of those been there done that. Actually it was disappointing. There was quite a build up and the stuff we had read led us to believe that it was really very good, lots of restaurants and the like. Well, that lost something in the translation. The sides of the creek as been concreted. And now it gets flushed out. But that is about it. Absolutely nothing to write home about. I don't think we will be going there any time soon.
Since I posted seriously, our little angel has turned 3. I have included a picture or two. The drawing is from Michele. In the photo the birthday girl is standing and wearing all the cloths. There are many layers.
Now to a subject dear to me. Bible interpretation. How to do. Well, I have always accepted what I read at face value. It always seem to me that when something was allegorical it was fairly obvious. So for example. If God said the earth was created in six days, as far as I was concerned it was. No big deal. So university degree required to understand that. Pretty straight forward. Various Christian friends of mine had, over the years, tried to muddy the waters and make it more complicated than it needed to be. I just went quiet and said nothing. But lately I have tended to be a tad for forthright in my views. You see I have been listening to some podcasts from Faithroots Radio. They are over here at Good News For Israell. In a recent podcast they addressed the issue of Bible interpretation. There attitude is like my own. Read and interpret the Bible at literally unless otherwise indicated. So, Jesus always made it obvious when he was telling a parable. So it is in some other places. For example, remember Nathan when he confronted King David over his misdemeanor with Bathsheba? But else where the Bible means what it says and says what it means. This morning at Triple M's we had a discussion on this. One of our number is a bit into "high criticism." He says we need to look at how it was written and all that. Way to complicated for a little boy like me. And most times when I go to the Greek or Hebrew dictionary for a meaning I find the KJV is very close in it accuracy of interpretation. As I said to him we should keep to the KISS principle where S = Stupid which I mostly am.
