I am sharing this now so that Whovians who wish to do so can get their supplies ready for making these Dalek-style Doctor Who Easter eggs. Read more
A young Christian wrote an e-mail expressing concern about doubt. I thought I would share what I wrote to them, in case it is helpful to others: I wonder whether you may not have understood the “faith” referred to in the New Testament primarily in terms of holding the right beliefs.

It seems that Google Reader is being done away with (“retired” seems to be the preferred term). I suppose that means that I will have to find another feed reader for all my blogs and news feeds that I read – which almost certainly includes yours, if you have one. And so if you want me to keep reading regularly, please recommend alternatives which will allow me not only to read, but also have a sidebar like the one I currently... Read more
HT Stephen Savage on Facebook. If Sennacherib had at least one Dalek and he couldn't take Jerusalem, does that mean that God sent the Doctor to help king Hezekiah? (For a more mundane explanation of the image, see the British Museum web site). Read more
