To borrow from a classic, “I’m not dead”. I’ve just been extremely busy. I’ve been pulling 80+hr/wk at work for the last two months which leaves very little time to do much else. Hopefully things will turn around quickly so I don’t end up like the old man on the cart. I think I’ll go for a walk.
Good to hear from you!
What movie was that from? I’ve GOT to watch it!
Your post reminds me of something I’ve been thinking about. Death and resurrection.
Christians believe that everyone person that’s ever lived will be resurrected and face judgement. I was watching a show on the Discover or the Science channel about death and burial customs in various cultures throughout history. Wow.
If one considers all of the various ways that various cultures have disposed of their dead over the centuries, the idea of a mass resurrection becomes, well, hard to believe. Some cultures bury, some cremate, some mummify, some send off into the water (where presumably the body is eaten), some feed their dead to animals, some burn them to various deities, etc, etc.
So, with all of these customs, especially the burnings and feeding to animals, what is going to be resurrected? Pooh?
Really. Think about it. A resurrection is easy to believe if you live in a culture that just buries their dead, but once you look a little outside your culture, it becomes a little harder to accept.

Scott,
The movie is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. As a teenager I can remember watching it several times. My brother had it almost all memorized. You’ve got to watch it.
Regarding the resurrection. If there is a God that created the universe than resurrection shouldn’t be a problem. And I for one don’t really want my old body back, and I don’t think the Bible teaches that either. The new body will be way better. I’m thinking superhero type body.
