John Chrysostom's Homily on Christmas
John Chrysostom is a very important (and very interesting) figure of early Christianity. Plus, he was an amazing preacher.
Here’s one of my fav homilies that are ascribed to him:
“Behold a new and wondrous mystery. My ears resound to the Shepherd’s song, piping no soft melody, but chanting full forth a heavenly hymn. The Angels sing. The Archangels blend their voice in harmony....
“For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the...”

Long Term v. Short Term
thomaswhitley:
Welcome guest blogger, Sam Harrelson. I recently shared this article with him about a scholarly journal that is going to begin requiring its authors to post a summary of their research to the online encyclopdia, Wikipedia, an interesting idea, indeed. I then shared with him this response by Jim West, who vehemently disagrees with this new wiki advice. Below is Sam’s well thought...

yale's response to economic situation
Dear Alumni: I want you to have a copy of the letter I sent earlier this afternoon to faculty and staff addressing how we will respond to the economic downturn. You will see that we are committed to maintaining our strong financial aid programs and continuing to build a pre-eminent faculty, and that we do not intend to overreact to the decline in the value of our endowment, since markets remain...
Hero of Sparta on the Touch →
I’m a bit of an ancient culture geek, and a big fan of the God of War series of video games. For these reasons I was both excited and wary about the new Hero of Sparta ($9.99) game for the iPhone and iPod touch, the latest Gameloft release.

thomaswhitley:
This morning at my church some of our children sang and some read lines. The performance was…well, it was a performance. Part of the dialogue stuck out to me, though.
Child 1: How could the creator of the world love me that much? I just can’t wrap my head around it.
Child 2: Thankfully, you don’t have to. You just have to wrap your heart around it.
This says to me that faith...
