Do We Love Pets More than People?

Dealing with the death of a pet is, for some people, an event from which they never recover.  Where once we just buried pets in the backyard under a foot of dirt — or dumped the carcass in the trash bin like garbage–many now honor their deceased pets with cremation, mausoleums, headstones and other burial rites that were formerly reserved in the domain of people.

An Ordinary Jesus

We already know Jesus was found dead in his grave — but the recent news that the entire Jesus “resurrection miracle” may have not been anything terribly special in light of a new discovery of a stone scroll extolling the common practice of dead people arising from their eternal slumber in order to live again decades before our favorite Jewish Messiah made his move — leaves some of us wondering what’s left in the Jesus trunk of miracles.

Blog Explosion Implodes in a Gutter of Dust

One of the greatest blog traffic exchanges of all time — Blog Explosion — is now officially dead from a purposeful implosion, a non-caring attitude and an inability to respond to user service requests.

There was a time when Blog Explosion ruled the Blog World. You’d meet new friends, get lots of new visitors and live high on the traffic hog.

Today, Blog Explosion is the gutter of a ghost town.  No one answers technical support inquiries.  No new blog approvals are happening.  No one is there.  The store is empty.  The well is dry.  The town is dust.

We weep for the loss.
