The NHS offering of GET and CBT is inadequate and nothing else is available . . . here’s hoping that can change very soon. Welcome to the world of blogging.

A man was blissfully driving along the highway when he saw The Easter Bunny
hopping down the middle of the road. The man swerved to avoid hitting him,
but unfortunately, the famous bunny jumped in front of his car, and was hit
anyway. His basket of eggs went flying all over the place.
The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the
side of the road, and got out to see what had become of the bunny carrying the
basket. Much to his dismay, the colorful bunny was dead. The driver felt guilty
A woman driving down the same highway saw the man crying on the side of the road
and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong.
"I feel terrible," he explained. "I accidentally hit The Easter Bunny and killed him.
There may not be an Easter because of me. What should I do?"
The woman told the man not to worry. She knew exactly what to do. She went to
her car trunk and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead bunny
and sprayed the entire contents of the can onto the furry animal.
Miraculously, The Easter Bunny came to back life, jumped to his feet, picked up the
spilled eggs and candy, waved his paw at the two humans, and hopped down the
road. 50 yards away, The Easter Bunny stopped, turned around, waved, and hopped
down the road another 50 yards, turned, waved, hopped another 50 yards and
waved again!
The man was astonished. He said to the woman, "What in heaven's name is in your
spray can? What did you spray on The Easter Bunny?"

A Blonde Buys a TV
A blonde went to her local electrical store to buy a TV. She chose one and
brought it to the salesman.
"I would like to buy this small TV," she told the salesman.
So the blonde hurried home, put her hair up in a bun, put on a hat, and returned
to repeat to the salesman, " I would like to buy this TV."
"Sorry, we don't sell to blondes," the salesman replied for a second time.
"Darn!" the lady exploded, "He recognized me!"
She went for a complete disguise this time - a haircut, new hair color, different
clothes, and she waited a few days until she re-entered the electrical store to
"I would like to buy this TV," she exclaimed
"Sorry, we don't sell to blondes," the salesman replied.
Angry and frustrated, the lady shouted, "How do you know I'm a blonde?!!"

Three Irishmen in Heaven
It seems three Irishmen, Sean, Michael and Tim, passed over at the same time.
Upon encountering the Pearly Gates, they were met by Saint Patrick himself.
The saint said to the boys, "Lads, I'm here to welcome you to Heaven where
you will spend eternity. Just remember one thing, when you go through these
gates, don't step on any of the ducks or you'll be punished for eternity."
Sean went in first and was amazed to see that the entire landscape was
encompassed by ducks, and try as he might, he stepped on one.
He was immediately joined by one of the homeliest colleens he'd ever laid
eyes on, and she said, "Well love, you stepped on a duck and now we're
together for all time."
The exact same thing happened to Michael, only his companion was even
worse for wear. By this time Tim was absolutely terrified. He gingerly
managed to make it most of the way across the court without stepping on
a single duck. Suddenly, his arm was taken by a young lass. Tim looked over
and beheld the most beautiful, graceful, blue-eyed woman he'd ever seen in
all his life. He gasped, "I don't understand it!?!"
The young beauty answered, "Well I'm sure I don't either. I was walking
along minding my own business, when suddenly I stepped on a duck."

Three Irishmen, Paddy, Sean, and Seamus, were stumbling home from the pub late
at night, and found themselves on the road which led past the old graveyard.
"Come have a look over here," says Paddy. "It's Michael O'Grady's grave.
God bless his soul. He lived to the ripe old age of 87."
"That's nothing," says Sean. "Here's one named Patrick O'Toole. It says here
Just then, Seamus yells out, "Here's a fella that got to be 145!"
written on the stone marker and exclaims, "Miles, from Dublin."
Murphy applied for a fermentation operator post at a famous Irish firm based in
Dublin. An American applied for the same job, and since both applicants had
similar qualifications, they were asked to take a test by the manager. When the
results were in, amazingly, both men had only one wrong answer.
The manager went to Murphy and said, "Thank you for coming to the interview,
but we've decided to give the American the job."
Murphy replied, "And why would you be doing that? We both got 19 questions
correct. This is Ireland and I am Irish. Surely I should get the job?"
The manager explained, "We have made our decision not on the correct answers,
but on the question you missed."
The manager answered, "Simple. On question number 7 the American wrote down,
'I don't know.' You put down, 'Neither do I.'"
In honor of Daylight Saving Time, I have fun and funny sleep quotes
by famous people today. These can be found at Reader's Digest online.
I hope everyone is catching up on their lost hour of sleep. Val =)
"Everyone should have kids. They are the greatest joy in the world.
But they are also terrorists. You'll realize this as soon as they are
born and they start using sleep deprivation to break you."
"Last night I dreamed I ate a ten-pound marshmallow, and when I
woke up the pillow was gone."
"Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations.
When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong."
"The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf
won't get much sleep."
"I think sleeping was my problem in school. If school had started at
four in the afternoon, I'd be a college graduate today."
"I feel sorry for people who do not drink. When they wake up in the
morning it is as good as they are going to feel all day."

Life Quotes and a Verse
“Because life is a living, breathing, work of art, you are
a painting as you go. Be a masterpiece. Drink in life.
Laugh too loud. Compliment others constantly.”
"Life is a great big canvas and you should throw all
the paint on it you can."
"My life is like a piano, white keys are happy moments
and black keys are sad moments. But remember both keys
are played together to give sweet music of life... "
"Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea
that life is serious."
Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the
shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart."
"Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel.
You yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder.
But cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass
a very comfortable night."
"Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me,
I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled
a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved."
That is the comedy of life."

St. Patrick, who was an Irishman only by adoption."
"He was a terror to any snake that came in his path,
whether it was the cold, slimy reptile sliding along the ground,
or the more dangerous snake that oppresses men through false
teachings. And he drove the snakes out of the minds of men,
snakes of superstition and brutality and cruelty."

"When anyone asks me about the Irish character,
I say look at the trees, maimed, stark and misshapen,
but ferociously tenacious."

St. Patrick's Day Riddles and Puns
A poor horse is going barefoot!
Why did the elephant wear his green sneakers
instead of his red ones?
The red ones were in the wash.
A leprechaun spelled backwards!
It's Saint Patrick's Day and an armed, hooded robber bursts into the Bank of Ireland
and forces the tellers to load a sack full of cash. On his way out the door with the loot,
one brave, Irish customer grabs the hood and pulls it off revealing the robber's face.
He then looks around the bank to see if anyone else has seen him. One of the tellers
is looking straight at him and the robber walks over and calmly shoots him also.
"Did anyone else see my face?!" screams the robber.
There is a few moments of silence then one elderly Irish gent, looking down, tentatively
raises his hand and says, "I think me wife may have caught a glimpse.
An aging man lived alone in Ireland. His only son was in Long Kesh Prison, and he didn't
know anyone who would spade up his potato garden. The old man wrote to his son about it,
and received this reply, "For HEAVENS SAKE, don't dig up that garden! That's where I
buried the GUNS!!!!!"
At 4 AM the next morning, a dozen British soldiers showed up and dug up the entire garden,
but didn't find any guns. Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him what happened and
O'Shaughnessy Needs Time Off
Soon after O'Shaughnessy clocked in for work, the foreman called him
over and told him that he had a phone call in the front office.
When O'Shaughnessy returned, he had a mournful expression on his face
and his head hung low. His foreman noticed and asked if it was bad news.
"To be sure it was, boss." he replied. "I just found out from Ireland that
my mother died earlier this morning."
"Gosh, that's awful." replied the foreman. "Do you want the rest of the
"No," replied O'Shaughnessy, "I'll finish the day out."
About an hour later, the foreman returned to inform him that there was

returned he looked twice as glum, and the foreman asked if everything

"A friend loves at all times... "
“What greater thing is there for human souls than to
feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other
in silent unspeakable memories.”
“Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is
the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a
young man about a place to live, I think I should say, 'Sacrifice
almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.'
I know I am very fortunate in that respect.”
"I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because,
of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater
or better than friendship."
"The most beautiful discovery true friends can make is that
"Women give nothing to friendship except what
they borrow from love."
"Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough.
Not only have I found that, when I talk to the little flower
or to the little peanut, they will give up their secrets, but
I have found that when I silently commune with people they
give up their secrets also - if you love them enough."

and have her nonsense respected."

I have two cats in my home, Honey and Baby Boo. Honey is as sweet
and docile as can be. Boo is a mean bruiser. They are both rescued cats.
They have never warmed up to each other after five years. Honey is
almost 11 and Boo is five. They live at opposite sides of my home and
only meet for feedings and when they are wanting some attention or
loving. Fights very often ensue. Meet my two hearts...
I have 15 cat facts that you may not know. Most were knew to me.
I found this at The Cat's Meow. Do you have a pet? I would love to
hear all about your furry friend in my comments section!
1. Cats lose almost as much fluid in the saliva while grooming
themselves as they do through urination.
2. Charles A. Lindbergh left his kitten, Patsy, at home in 1927 when he
made his famous transatlantic flight because it was “too dangerous
a journey” to risk her life. But a kitten named Jazz crossed the
Atlantic on the first dirigible flight from England to America.
3. Bouhaki, the earliest cat name on record, dates back to Egyptian
writings of 2000 B.C. In the hieroglyphs of that period,
bou signified “house” and “hak” was the symbol for “divine ruler.”
4. In ancient Egypt, entire families were forced by law to shave their
eyebrows as a sign of mourning when the family cat died.
5. There are approximately 60,000 hairs per square inch on the back of
a cat and about 120,000 per square inch on its underside.
6. The largest litter ever documented was produced by a
Burmese/Siamese mother. There were 19 kittens in
7. Besides smelling with their noses, cats can smell with an
additional organ called the vomeronasal organ (or
Jacobson’s organ), located in the upper surface
8. Sir Isaac Newton is credited with the invention of the
cat flap-door.
9. Cat’s ears can be rotated because they are connected
to thirty (30) muscles. There are only six (6) muscles
connecting human ears – we can’t rotate ours.
10. The first modern cat show, featuring two dozen show classes,
was held in London in 1871.
11. At top speed, a domestic cat can run over 30 mph.
12. A cat named Towser eliminated 28,899 mice while she was
employed by the Glenturret Distillery near Crieff,
13. Every cat’s nose pad, or nose leather, has unique characteristics.
Just as no two humans have the same fingerprints,
it’s a fact that no two feline noseprints are ever alike.
14. Both humans and cats have identical regions in the brain
responsible for emotion.
15. Back in the late 1940s in Buenos Aires, a black female cat
climbed a 40 foot tree where she resided for six years.
Her name was Mincha and she wasn’t lonely for
companionship. She had three litters while living in the tree.
The local Argentineans fed her by putting her food on poles.

Irish Sausages, Please?
"Can I have some Irish sausages, please?" asked Seamus. "I want to make a
proper Irish hot dog."
"If I asked you for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or, if I
asked for German bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked
you for a Kosher hot dog, would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I asked you
for a taco, would you ask me if I was Mexican? Would you, eh? Would you?"
"And if I asked you for some Bourbon whiskey, would you ask me if I was
American? What about Danish bacon, would you ask me if I was Danish?"
Self-righteously, Seamus demanded, "Well, all right then, why did you ask me
if I'm Irish, just because I asked for Irish Sausages?!"
Walking into the bar, Shamus said to O'Heir the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one.
I just had another fight with the little woman."
"O, bejabbers," said O'Heir, "and how did this one end?"
"Hah, when it was over," Shamus replied, "she came to me on her hands and knees."
"Really?!" cried O'Heir, "Now that's a switch! What did she say?"
She said, "Come out from under the bed, Shamus, you little chicken."
An elderly couple were driving through County Kerry, Ireland. Irene was driving
when she got pulled over by the Gardai, who asks her, "Ma'am did you know that
you were speeding?"
Irene turns to her husband, Mick, and enquires, "What did he say?"
Mick yells out, "He says you were speeding!"
The Garda said, "May I see your license, please, ma'am?"
Irene, once again, turns to Mick and says, "What did he say?"
Once more, Mick, shouts out, "He wants to see your license!"
The Garda retorts, "I see you are from Kerry. I spent some time there once and
had the worst date of my life."
For the final time, Irene turns to Mick and asks, "What did he say?"
Mick yells very loudly, "He thinks he knows you!"
Irish Calculating?
Murphy and O'Brien go out into the woods where they come to a clearing and see an
"I wonder how deep this well is?" Murphy asks.
O'Brien answers, "There's one way we could figure it out."
"What's that?" asks Murphy.
O'Brien explains, "We drop something down it, we time how long it takes to hit the bottom,
we multiply that times 32 feet per second squared, the rate at which objects fall in a
vacuum, subtract a little for wind resistance, and we've got the depth of the well."
"What are you going to drop down it?" Murphy asks.
Then O'Brien looks all around and he sees this big, heavy log lying on the ground. Next he
squats down by the log and, using his legs correctly, he gets it up onto his shoulders and
staggers over to the edge of the well, tips it up, and drops it into the well. They start to
count, "One hippopotamus, two hippopotamus, three... "
"Three seconds!" yells Murphy.
O'Brien says, "Quick, multiply that, times 32 feet per second squared!"
"288 feet!" Murphy answers.
"Subtract a little for wind resistance, let's say 18 feet. The depth of that well is 270
As he is finishing the calculations, Murphy shouts, "LOOK OUT!!", and pushes O'Brien
backwards as a goat runs between them and jumps head first down the well.
"I've never seen anything like that!" Murphy exclaims.
Just then a farmer walks into the clearing and says, "What's going on here boys?"
O'Brien says, "We just figured out the depth of this well to be about 270 feet deep and
then the strangest thing happened. A goat ran between the two of us and jumped head
first down into the well."
"Thank heaven it wasn't one of my goats," the farmer says.
"How do you know it wasn't?" asks Murphy.
And the farmer says, "Because all of my goats are tethered to big, heavy logs."

Fuzzy Reflections: November 2008
It was just another night, until the first pangs of labor struck. With all the usual efforts and pains that accompany birth, a child is born. But this is not just another child. No, this is a child who was prophesied about, who was eagerly anticipated, not merely by his family, but by a nation and by the world. This child would revolutionize how man perceives God and how God relates to man. This child was the "anointed one", the "Prince of Peace" and "Immanuel: God with Us." Yes, this was an extraordinary child.
It was just another night as nearby shepherds tended their flocks. The faint bleating of sheep is the only sound that disturbs the cool night air. Weather-worn men, weary from a day's work, prepare to bed down for the night when the sky explodes. A cacophony of music dispels the quiet as the brightest of light chases darkness away. Men accustomed to dealing with dangers ranging from wild beasts to armed thieves now shake in absolute terror as an army of heavenly beings proclaim the birth of God's own Son. It's as if God is proclaiming that He is the God of everybody, from the pious, religion-minded priests down the social ladder to the blue-collar, work-every-single-day-of-the-week, shepherd. Yes, this was an extraordinary proclamation.
It was just another night, until God stepped into flesh. He traded a throne for a bed of hay; the songs of angels for the bleating of cattle; the streets of gold for the dirt-packed streets of the first-century. now instead of robes of white linen, he was wrapped in the rough homespun of swaddling cloths. Instead of the riches of heaven, he saw the poverty of his earthly parents. Instead of assuming the all-powerful role as the creator and sustainer of the universe, he sacrifices everything to become as helpless as a newborn babe. Yes, this is an extraordinary God.
It was just another night, until Christmas came, then it was extraordinary.

Cal Sport Media via AP ImagesThe USC staff will have an opportunity to make a positive impression on the likes of Adoree’ Jackson (Gardena, Calif./Serra), Joe Mixon (Oakley, Calif./Freedom), Ainuu Taua (Lompoc, Calif./Lompoc), John “JuJu” Smith (Long Beach, Calif./Poly), Bryce Dixon (Ventura, Calif./St. Bonaventure), Michiah Quick (Fresno, Calif./Central) and Dwight Williams (Gardena, Calif./Serra), though there was a mix up earlier in the week. Jackson, the highly coveted athlete who bagged a USC offer in late January, had not heard from the coaching staff about junior day and, as a result, did not plan to attend. But he and Williams finally received a call from Lane Kiffin on Wednesday and both expected to make the short drive to campus.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Merry Ann Cutler
I agree with Joe. All of the builders mentioned above are National or Regional builders. Pulte is the largest builder in the Triangle currently(2012). Green Level Crossing has two sections - Manors and Woodlands. The Woodlands homes start in the high $600s and go up to over $1M. It has sold well in comparison to other Luxury Home communities. It will be great when they finish the amenities/pool.
NC Real Estate Law requires that Seller's provide a Property Disclosure that describes the avaiability of utilities (or lack thereof). Whether you used an Agent or not, if the Seller failed to provide you with a Property disclosure, you may have recourse.
I suggest you contact a NC licensed real estate attorney to explore your options.
I use Jonathan Sizemore from Adams and Howell. He can be reached at 919.235.0060.

Wisconsin RE rules and regs for an agent may be totally different than those in North Carolina. Your broker prepared the counter offer and I will assume you read the counter document and signed it which indicates you agree with what is in the document. Your agent is "representing" you as a seller's agent in a real estate transaction You and your agent are equally accountable for the error. The buyers agent will refer to the written and signed document as credible proof of a legitimate counter offer. Please discuss with your attorney in Wisconsin---you will need to know if you have any recourse or not. Thanks and good luck!

Leaky gasket for Ultimate Chopper blender attachment
I have had my Ultimate Chopper and Blender attachment for about 4 years now but have been unable to use the blender for a very long time because the gasket leaks , so I end up with liquids running out all over my counter space.. I have not been able to purchase one of that size anywhere, even at stores like Lowe's. It seems to be an odd size and so the blender, which is great for small/light jobs, is gathering dust in my cupboard, totally useless. Of course, no way to contact the company for replacements; so what does one do - throw it out? Is there any place to buy the right size gasket??? My heavy duty glass blender is really just too big/heavy for some of the small jobs I want to do.... (an no dishwasher but me),

Christian Bookshelf Reviews: Review: The Rose of Winslow Street by Elizabeth Camden
This book has been on my to-read shelf for several years and I finally got around to reading it. I loved the writing and characters. Pretty much from the beginning I found the story interesting, but it was the last portion of the book that was nearly unputdownable.
All in all, The Rose of Winslow Street was a very good read. I definitely recommend it!

amuse-bouche: photoless phriday - the missing in action edition
Wow, I'm impressed that you're participating in the musical even though you're so busy with everything else. I didn't know you played the Clarinet, apparently you're loaded with talents!
Oh good luck, Lelly, good luck. You pack a big punch.
"She made brazen overtures to a man who never had a friend in this town 'til SHE came he-are!"
"Will you please make your selection and leave?"
"What would you like to take out?"
"*the librarian*."
And I used to play the clarinet, Lelly. We are like ebony and ivory.
I so enjoyed this little window into your life..I've missed you.
BRAZEN OVERTURES!
July at the hotel, eh? Well, I'm intrigued.
Fun dialogue in your comments here -- break a leg!
I misread that line as 'thank goodness for the crackpot' - and thought you were referring to yourself as some kind of lunatic! Haha! Was I misreading MUCH?!
I know how frustrated you must feel turning 40 and still feeling like you're spinning plates. When we were all 16 we must've assumed that we'd be all sorted and kool-and-the-gang by 40, mustn't we? But it's all a myth, babe. None of us knows what we're doing. *taps nose knowingly* I know, you know.

Dr. DeConick,I was a bit intrigued by yesterday's conversation but I hesitated to join in. My question is this: You interpret saying 97 as a parable that has a rather straightforward meaning (which I can see in a context where it is assumed that the saying must have a meaning). In the Coptic Gospel of Thomas, however, the book opens with the assertion that the sayings are cryptic and difficult to understand. Does the gospel's statement of "authorial intent" in any way affect how we read the individual sayings? Does it present a challenge to your straightforward interpretation? If you' ve already answered this in one of your books, feel free to just reference me. Thanks!
David,Hi! Not at all. The parable interpretation I suggest is what Jesus may have intended had he said these words at all. As we can see, the early Christians loved to play with multiple meanings and searched the scripture, and I think also Jesus' words, for a hidden esoteric meaning beyond the obvious one. They thought that their scriptures had multiple meanings and it was their job to figure them out. They really didn't care so much about the "literal" or "obvious" meaning. They looked for moral and even spiritual interpretations. So they were always allegorizing and moralizing their texts in terms of hermeneutics.
We're on a GT roll, here, I love it. Light my (spiritual) fire! :DThe "fire" sayings of Jesus here, and in the canonical Gospels (Jesus would "baptize with fire"), remind me of verses 3:1-9 from the Jewish apocryphal Wisdom of Solomon (2nd-1st c. BC), where God's righteous people, who "in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble." I believe these are the *collective* Son of Man which Jesus predicted would arrive at the eschaton (not necessarily referring to himself as the Son of Man in this sense!) and who "shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord [YHVH] shall reign for ever." The righteous "sparks" would burn up the "stubble" (destroy or convert them?) - with stubble the equivalent of the "chaff" and "weeds" referred to in the NT canon.Jesus himself probably believed he was the fire-starter, tending and spreading that "fire of righteousness" until the arrival of YHVH's rule at the end-time, when the whole world would be ablaze with God's Light and Wisdom. In studying early Christian writings, we must keep in mind what Jewish religious concepts and writings were likely familiar and inspirational to Jesus and the earliest Christians (who were Jews/Israelites) before they even had their own "Christian" scriptures!
Gospel of Thomas saying 10 is rather similar to Lk. 12:49: “I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled.” But in Luke it has an immediate explanatory context in vss. 50-53 that refer to the household divisions that will occur over His teaching. The “simple” interpretation is that Jesus’ teaching is inflammatory. In the GT this comes up in saying 16 with lots of unrelated statements in between. So, taken out of context a person’s active imagination could derive all sorts interpretations from GT 10. A plausible esoteric interpretation I leave for after I understand what is being simply said. After being comfortable with the simple understanding I do at times join those early Christians that Dr. DeConick talks about who “loved to play with multiple meanings and searched the scripture . . . for hidden esoteric meaning beyond the obvious one.” New Age mentality and much gnosticism tends to do the opposite. They jump into the esoteric without understanding the obvious and actually disdain the simple. Esotericism and humility have a very difficult relationship.
Yes, GT 10 can be related to GT 16 in the sense that Jesus' teachings were inflammatory (and they were to many, esp. strictly Torah-observant orthodox Jews, Temple priests and Sanhedrin/leadership), and just as religious (and political!) beliefs today can divide families, they surely did then. When one changes one's thinking (the literal meaning of repentance) and way of life, one can alienate old friends and family who are unwilling or unable to change as well, even if it's for the best. Jesus was asking people to change, to evolve and grow beyond the old covenant and accept his "new covenant." Change comes hard in any age, and people cannot often see each others' points of view to comprehend why a person has changed and is behaving differently.But in Lk 12:50, immediately following the fire saying, Luke has Jesus go on to say, "But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!" This clearly seems to relate more immediately back to the Baptizer's announcement (in Mt and Lk) that Jesus would "baptize with fire." Baptism, as practiced by John the Baptizer, was a cleansing (for the repentance of the sinful life to be left behind); Jesus built upon that understanding and also made it an initiation into the Kingdom of God. Like water, which purifies and symbolizes Spirit, fire also purifies and represents God's Light/righteousness/Wisdom/Love burning brightly in the hearts of His children (the righteous, those who do God's will, Jesus' followers). Fire purges the old/unclean and purifies; fire is also light, and in Mt 5:14 Jesus says "You are the Light of the World." (In that age, they sure didn't have electricity - light was a lamp/flame.) I think when you take Luke 12:49-50 together, *this* may be the simplest, most obvious meaning or interpretation of the fire saying (in GT or Lk).I think it's important to look at similar metaphors that Jews in Jesus' time were familiar with. References to Light, and children of the Light, and ritualistic "tongues of fire" (reminiscent of those at Pentecost in Acts) are found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, for example, which also apparently were a strong influence on Jesus and early Christianity, in addition to the Wisdom of Solomon that I cited above. Isn't it possible that Luke - a Gentile - might have missed the Jewish symbolism of "fire" beyond the mere sense of inflammatory teaching that threatened to tear families and a people apart (which may have been a cause for persecution, a big issue in the early Church)? In Luke, if one isolates Jesus' statement, in and of itself it has no relation at all to divisiveness. I hear a sense of urgency (as in Jesus felt the end-time was "at hand"), not divisiveness. For all we know, Luke could have been quoting Jesus out of context by adding dialog immediately following regarding dividing families! (Luke was not there taking dictation...) Maybe GT has these two sayings separated for a reason - perhaps they weren't related originally? The early core of GT (likely authentic sayings of Jesus, of which this fire saying, or some core version of it, such as the first phrase, is surely one) was probably composed around 50 CE, 30 years before Luke's. Something to ponder.... Which came first...???I'm not saying the author of Luke or the Church's authority on how to interpret Jesus' saying is wrong, I'm just saying there were and are other ways that Jesus' symbolic words could have been interpreted by people, depending on their backgrounds and what other teachings/ideologies and scriptures they were familiar with. Jesus was a Jew, after all; most NT writings come 20 years or more after Jesus' death, so we need to look at Jewish writings at or before Jesus' time to put his words in a more appropriate context. Even if he was speaking to something entirely new, he still had to put his words in a context (rural parables, Jewish canon and apocryphal texts) which those people of his time would understand! Not a context that would come 20 or 50 years later (or even 200 years later with more extreme versions of Gnosticism - but by then the Church had also become "extreme" in its development of higher Christology, too - extreme is extreme in either direction). IMO, it's rather judgmental to presume that any interpretation other than what is found in the NT canon and taught by the Church is the only proper "simple" and "obvious" interpretation and that anything else which delves a bit deeper is esoteric (and presumably arrogant, as Jose seems to imply. Judge not...). I believe when April states "early Christians loved to play with multiple meanings and searched the scripture," one can't discount the proto-orthodox, either - they, too, loved hermeneutics and scoured the scriptures to find esoteric meanings to explain the horrible death of their Messiah - Mk, Mt and Lk all contain evidence of this in terms citing OT scripture to support the idea that prophecy had been fulfilled in Jesus. If one only looks at the NT and its interpretations, it's as if one is regarding only the new treasures while ignoring the old... Offering plausible, alternative interpretations doesn't have anything to do with lacking humility or judging other interpretations as wrong. It's merely that: offering plausible alternate interpretations based on similar metaphors from that same period and Jewish culture in which Jesus himself lived.Jesus felt the end-times were very near, coming any day. He had a sense of urgency with his mission to gather the righteous and convert sinners to repent and change their ways, to turn back to God and righteousness. Yes, his teachings were inflammatory, but it was his urgent desire to set the world on fire, to baptize everyone willing to hear him with the fire of purification and righteousness, and initiate them into the Kingdom of God, just in the nick of time before judgment day. I believe that is how Jesus saw his mission on Earth. But judgment day didn't arrive as Jesus expected (oops?!) so as the years went on, like a wishbone, early Christianity evolved (devolved?) into 2 main streams of thought (with many groups and shades of gray in-between), each based on their own revised interpretations of Jesus' teachings (with sayings of their own added in on both sides of the wishbone). The one that had "mass appeal" socially and politically (and great marketing thanks to Paul) came to dominate and pointed a heretical finger at the other groups. But both had changed from "ground zero" - what Jesus originally believed/taught/preached. I believe neither stream of thought was wrong, but, 2-3 centuries later, neither the Gnostics nor the Orthodox Church was exactly right anymore, either. Now that we have available to us both sides of the story, or wishbone so to speak, it's up to us, realizing it's ALL religious propaganda, but trusting that, as they both were born from the same Source (Jesus as holy "ground zero"), there are gems of Truth to be gleaned from the writings of both branches of the early Christian wishbone.Peace, Love and Light/FIRE! :-)
Th 10 is closely related to Lk 12:49:Th 10, Jesus said, "I have come to cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes.”Lk 12:49, I came to throw fire on the earth and how I wish if it was already kindledIn turn, Lk 12:49 strongly links to Mt 10:34 in that, in the original Greek, they share, "elthon balein…epi ten gen".Mt 10:34, in its turn, is closely related to both Lk 12 51 and Th 16:1-2:Mt 10:34, Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth. I have come not to bring peace, but a swordLk 12:51, Do you think that I came to bring peace on the earth? No, I tell you—but, rather, division.Th 16:1-2, Jesus said, "Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I have come to cast upon the world. They do not know that it is dissension which I have come to cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war." I suggest the theory that Matthew used Mk and Th as sources and that Luke used Mk, Th and Mt as sources. In this case, this is the scenario:1. Th 10 and Th 16:1-2 are written2. Matthew writes Mt 10:34, using Th 16:1-2 as a source, shortening and modifying it (note: if IQP is correct in suggesting that Th 16::2, in a Greek version, had the phrase, "elthon balein…epi ten gen", then, in this case, it is the source for Matthew's identical phrase in Mt 10:34--see The Sayings Gospel Q in Greek and English, student's edition, p. 126)3. Luke wrote Lk 12:49 and 12:51. He primarily based 12:49 on Th 10, although also utilizing the phrase, "elthon balein…epi ten gen", he found in Mt10:34//Th 16:2.He primarily based 12:51 on Mt 10:34 rather than Th 16:1-2.This suggestion overcomes the great difficulty facing the Two Source Theory--which is to find a plausible solution for the puzzling situation of Mt 10:34 and Lk 11:49 sharing the phrase, "elthon balein…epi ten gen" (The frequent suggestion that there must have been a Q 11:49 is, IMO, inherently implausible because there is no parallel to Lk 11:49 in Mt and because of Ockam's Razaor--why hypothesise a passage without a shred of evidence it ever existed when we have a real passage at hand, i.e., Th 10?).
Hi Frank,It's all Greek to me! ;-DSeriously, though, your line of reasoning here (that both Mt and Lk used Th, along with Mk and/or Q) makes sense. Good thinking!
Hi Lightseeker;Thank you!To clarify, the theory proposed is that Matthew used Mk and Th as sources and Luke used Mk, Th and Mt as sources. There was no Q. There was no Q community. In the beginning was the Jerusalem Assembly and it was divided into the Hebrews and the Hellenists. The Thomas community was founded by the Hellenists, the Markan community by the Hebrews. There was an early version of Mk in existence and an early version of Th in existence before the two communities came into contact with each other and their respective gospels. The Markan community reacted negatively to the early version of Th and Mk 15:40-16:8 is an appendix to the original Mk designed to counter a number of Thomasine beliefs, especially those encountered in saying 114--which was the close to the early version of Th. The Thomasine community was more accomadative and added a number of sayings to Th based on sayings they found in the early Mk. Matthew, coming later, used the already existing Mk and Th as sources. Mk was essentially the same as we now have it, but Th continued to grow even after Matthew read it, so the copy we possess of it is larger than the copy Matthew possessed.
"Th continued to grow even after Matthew read it, so the copy we possess of it is larger than the copy Matthew possessed."And what source did "Th" have for its growth?Although some would like to imagine the GT is itself a sort of Q sourcebook that the canonical Gospels have drawn from and then embellished with additional material to make it more intelligible, I don’t accept this. It appears to me that GT is compiling material from recollections of those who might have attended “sermons” or talked to others attempting to reconstruct what Jesus said. They may have heard the Gospels read at churches or heard people years later talk about what they heard in such congregations. Copies of the Gospels were not common and during the first 20 years or so after the Resurrection they may not have existed. The records must come from word of mouth and of course the mouth from which the word comes is very important. If the person was an eyewitness or in the inner circle of Jesus or His disciples the reliability is much greater. The harmony, the corroboration, in the written records is an important factor to consider and there is little consistency in Gnostic texts related to what Jesus said that is not found in the canonical Scriptures leading one to suspect that it’s the Canon itself that is the “sourcebook.” The amount of material in the GT from the Gospels and the NT overall is so great that there is no reason to imagine that the GT writers were not familiar with them in one form or another rather than vice-versa.
"And what source did "Th" have for its growth?""The living Jesus." To the Thomasine Christians, "living" could refer to Jesus while he was in the flesh, but it also connotes that which is eternal - Spirit (i.e., Jesus' metaphorical refs even in NT to being alive vs. dead). And the Holy Spirit is available to all who seek it within themselves. The author of Jn (14:26) calls this "the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." The Holy Spirit is the inspiration, and if one believes in the dogma of the Trinity, then the Holy Spirit *is* Jesus - both are aspects of the one God. If one believes that God spoke through the prophets of old (as well as through Jesus), and the earliest Christians believed they were prophesying via the Holy Spirit, then one can be also be inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit in what one writes and says. This may be how the GT was "added to" later on, and it is no different than how the NT gospels were "added to" later on as well by well-meaning Church fathers/editors/redactors who made "corrections" or additions to older versions of the NT gospels. They felt inspired based on their beliefs that this was right and correct.To claim that the GT "is compiling material from recollections of those who might have attended “sermons” or talked to others attempting to reconstruct what Jesus said," is utter one-sided nonsense. From 30 CE to at least 50 CE, it seems very little if anything was written down - it was ALL word of mouth. If the the earliest core of GT was compiled circa 50 CE, as some scholars believe, it most certainly could have come straight from eye-witnesses, including Didymos Judas Thomas to whom it is attributed! "Judas, who is also called Thomas" (Eusebius, H.E. 13.12) - Thomas is not really a name, it comes from the Aramaic word T'oma for "twin" - may have been one of Jesus' own brothers, who were closely involved in the early Jerusalem ekklesia (first led by Jesus' brother James). All versions of gospels, whether proto-orthodox or proto-gnostic, were claiming apostolic authority, i.e., an apostle as a direct source. Because Mk, Mt and Lk were composed/compiled (likely from several sources as Frank pointed out, including various oral traditions that were circulating) from about 65-70 CE (Mk) or even later (80 CE for Mt and Lk), it's not likely they are 100% from eyewitness testimony either. And as Dr. DeConick pointed out earlier, each gospel author wrote his narrative with a specific evangelical theme (which is certainly bias!) in mind - the gospels are not biographies. Just because it was the orthodox Church which "won" and their preferred gospels and writings became the only accepted Canon, and the Church claims these 4 gospels have apostolic authority doesn't necessarily make it true - no more true than say for the GT! When these debates were going on early among various Christian groups, they were ALL making claims within their own gospels as to who had the "real" authority as an eye-witness or Church leader. We can see this in GT 12 and 13 where James and Judas Thomas are championed. In the Gospel of Mary (9:8-9), in a dispute with jealous Peter (and Andrew), it is Mary Magdalene whom Matthew-Levi defends, saying, "But if the Savior made her worthy, who are you indeed to reject her? Surely the Savior knows her very well. That is why He loved her more than us." This group looked to Mary as their leader (she was *the first* to see the risen Jesus!), not Peter. And of course, Mk and Mt look to Peter for their apostolic authority. Mt even goes so far as to put the words in Jesus' mouth that "upon this rock I will build my church" - most scholars would probably agree this was an addition by the Church (years after Jesus' death!) to assert Peter's leadership/authority over any others, these were not words Jesus originally spoke (it was likely never Jesus' intention to start a new religion! He was saving and gathering Jews for the arrival of God's rule and judgment at the eschaton!). In Jn, it is the mysterious "beloved disciple" who is favored over Peter (the identity of the BD has been suggested as Lazarus, Jesus' brother James, or even Mary Magdalene, but most scholars would agree, the BD/author of Jn was NOT John son of Zebedee, the apostle, as the Church traditionally claims). Even the author of Jn, writing around 90-100 CE when these feuds over authority were in full swing, makes a poke at Thomasine Christians, telling the story of "doubting Thomas" who had to see Jesus' wounds with his own eyes rather than believing on faith without seeing - an apologetic fabrication to defend the concept of bodily resurrection (which the earliest Christians may not have believed! Why is it the GT or the Didache ("Teachings of the Apostles" 50-120 CE; accepted by the Catholic Church, "by some of the Fathers as next to Holy Scripture.") contain nothing about Jesus' resurrection from the dead, nor any reference to the atonement doctrine, nor the Eucharist being the body and blood of Christ? If one is truly open-minded and willing to learn, one asks these questions.), and ALL early groups of Christians were jockeying for "apostolic authority." To believe that the NT gospels are any different, any more authentic, coming from eye-witness accounts (original apostles) that were more reliable than other early Christian writings - such as GT or Didache with early 50 CE dates - just because the Church traditionally tells us so, is naive and very one-sided, close-minded. This is why I attempt to read all gospels/writings with an open mind, aware that they were *all* written with bias one way or another during the early formation of various Christian theological ideas and beliefs. There was no "orthodoxy" early on.I don't mean to knock one's faith or beliefs, but that is very likely the historical reality. There were MANY eye-witnesses to Jesus' activities, not just Peter, and therefore there were many stories being circulated orally, even bits written down here and there early on (GT, Didache, Q, Signs Gospel, Paul's letters, the Passion Narrative, etc.). I'm sure all of Jesus' apostles/disciples, including James, Judas Thomas, Mary and others from Jesus' close, inner circle, were telling others of Jesus' words and ministry during those early years from 30-50 CE - why should they not be as reliable eye-witnesses as was Peter? They were all human beings, each telling the story from his or her own (varying!) perspective. Science and courts of law realize witnesses each see the same event in different ways, yet honest testimony is accepted. The main reason the NT gospels were probably more popular as time went on is that they were written in a more readily accessible narrative form, period. It doesn't make them any more "authentic" than other written materials. Most people have just been taught by the Church to believe that, and it's what feels familiar, and therefore possibly "right" to them. The apocryphal writings, in general, aren't familiar and therefore may seem more strange (from a different perspective or way of thinking), but it doesn't necessarily mean that a gospel such as GT did not have its roots also in eye-witness, apostolic accounts of teachings of Jesus.
Thank you Lightseeker for sharing your detailed opinions and testimony.Though everyone is certainly welcome to respond to my question it was actually directed to Frank McCoy who made the statement about “Th” growth. My question again is, “And what source did “Th” have for its growth?”As you see, Lightseeker says the “living Jesus” was its source. What do you think about that?
Jose Salano:As far as I can tell, the only known written source for Th is Mk. The apparently Markan-based material is later than some parts of Th, but earlier than some parts as well. So, Mk was apparently used as a source after an early version of Thomas was already in existence, but before the final version of it was written. I am unable to determine whether the Markan material is a discrete stratum or whether it was added through a process of gradual accretion
Thank you Frank McCoy for your plausible view of Th using Mark as a source. What you appear to be saying then is that Mark used Th in its early form but then after Mark was written the Th authors borrowed from Mark. This seems feasible to me. It helps fill something I felt was missing from your earlier comment in which nothing in Th was borrowed from any gospel. It moves in the direction I posit that GT borrows from the Gospels at least to some extent. Are there other researchers that address how or allege that the GT may have borrowed from the Gospels?
Jose Solano:What I maintain is not that Mark used an early version of Th as a source. Rather, he or someone else wrote an appendix to an original Mk that had ended at 15:39. Further, the purpose of the appendix, consisting of 15:40-16:8, was to conter some Thomasine doctrines, especially those in 114--which, contrary to popular opinion is early and closed out an early version of Th known to the Markan community.In this appendix, Peter is glorified (16:7), while James the Just, the hero of the Thomas group (12) is summarily dismissed as James the Lesser (15:41). This appendix ends with the women fleeing the tomb in fear and failing to communicate a divine message to the male disciples--thereby "proving" that Peter was right in claiming that women do not deserve life (contrast Jesus' rebuke of this Petrine position in 114), etc. etc. I hope this makes my position clearer to you.
Lightseeker, I mostly agree with your views, but can I make a suggestion? Shorter paragraphs! :)

asp.net mvc - How to get data to an MVC view from Global.asax - Stack Overflow
I have an MVC2 web app in which I've just implemented some session timeout code. In Global.asax, I added a Session_End handler that checks if a record is open for edit and, if so, issues a Web Service call to an external system to roll back the record in the repository, so it's not locked in an 'open for edit' state. The record is still displayed in the user's browser, because we can't push a message to the browser to close the record.
When the user next interacts with the (now timed-out) page, e.g. to refresh, cancel, save or submit it, the web app sees the user is not logged in (the session expired, so the login went with it), and redirects to the login page.
On the login page, I want to display a message explaining why the user got redirected, something like: "Your session timed out; please log in again. If you had a record open, it was rolled back to its prior status."
Question: from Global.asax, where can I store the message so the login controller or view can find it when we redirect? I can't seem to get a reference to ViewData in Global.asax. When I reference it like:
System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<My...LoginViewModel>.ViewData["ErrorMessage"] = "Your session timed out..."
An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<My...LoginViewModel>.ViewData.get'
Is what I'm attempting possible, and I just don't know the right way to reference ViewData, or is ViewData inaccessible to Global.asax? In that case, what's my best option for setting a message from Global.asax to be displayed in a view?
asp.net-mvc asp.net-mvc-2 global-asax viewdata share|improve this question asked Nov 18 '11 at 19:10
Why does it need to be in Global.asax?
I don't think your solution is possible. How would you know that a message is for a specific user? As they don't have a valid session, aren't they being redirected to the login page by the FormsAuthentication?
Session_End fires at an arbitrary time, not during an HTTP request. There is no view or ViewData to use.
@Val - First, you shouldn't be doing authentication that way. You should be using the pipeline and FormsAuthentication or similar. This can create security holes that can be exploited by attackers or malware bots. Second, there's no guarantee that Session_End will fire, so records can be locked indefinitely. For instance, if the worker process is recycled, no Session_End will ever get called, so you cannot rely on this mechanism to unlock resources.
I suggest you rethink your design to not lock records for edit in this manner, and do not rely on session_end for anything of critical importance.
@Val - Forms Auth will take precedence over anything you do in the page, since the code in the page will never execute if the FormsAuth cookie expires. If you're manually redirecting users, then just add a querystring that indicates it was from a session timeout. That is, in your page where you do the redirect (i assume you're checking for a valid session, and if not redirecting) send a parameter to your login page with a message.
@val - You misunderstand. You still use the end_session to close the record, but when the user comes back after timeout, whatever mechanism you use to redirect the user should add the message. I mean, you know to redirect the user, therefore you know the session is no longer valid.

Glad you like reading my blog! Today is a wonderfully sunny day, not a cloud in the sky over Cuenca. Warm but with a nice cool breeze. A bit like a summer day in Seattle in July. I’ve been baking this morning so I had to open the windows to get the condo cooled off from the oven and the stove and the sun on the windows. Hubby has already been for a walk; I may go out for a stroll later. I don’t miss those cold winters in Texas; don’t miss the humid hot summers, either!

Hello, where in Manabi do you live? many many years ago, I lived in Tosagua, a small town about an hour from Portoviejo, on the way to Chone. We still have friends there, and we hope to go visit sometime soon. We’d like to see Bahia again, too. We used to love going to Bahia for fresh seafood and better shopping than the mercado on Sunday in Tosagua! Love your art….
