David's Palace Unearthed

...For a growing number of academics and intellectuals, King David and his united kingdom of Judah and Israel... is simply a piece of fiction. The biblical account of history has been dismissed as unreliable arguing that [it] was resurrected by the Zionists to justify dispossessing Palestinian Arabs.... Today it's become fashionable to say there was no David, no Solomon, no Temple, no prophets. But suddenly the facts on the ground are speaking, and those outspoken voices are stammering...

The world of archeology is rocked by evidence of King David's palace unearthed in Jerusalem.

Critters

A groundhog is one thing... a family of skunks is another thing altogether.



Skunks are usually nocturnal but they also sometimes come out during the early morning or late evening. This video was taken around 7am. YouTube has lots of videos of baby skunk sightings during daylight so I don't think they're rabid.

Isn't it funny how they notice me and run for cover? : )

The Purpose of the Book of Jonah

One of the first blogs I check (daily) in my feed reader is Between Two Worlds by Justin Taylor. He describes his postings as a mix of 'theology, philosophy, politics, and culture'.

Anyway, I like this recent post on the book of Jonah.

Mark Futato:

The primary purpose of the book of Jonah is to engage readers in theological reflection on the compassionate character of God, and in self-reflection on the degree to which their own character reflects this compassion, to the end that they become vehicles of this compassion in the world that God has made and so deeply cares about.
