Now I Can Blog Instead of Doing What Little Housework I Used to Do!

Thanks, Jon, for getting this up and working again. You must really love me to give me this delightful distraction from what I'm supposed to be doing. In the next couple of days I'll try to fill in the books and movies and some music from the last few months. For now, the baby is crying and demands attention.

Here's Rose Cottage, just up the road a few yards: A friendly older woman opened the door, gave me the key, and said I could put it in the mail drop when I was done. The inside of the church was quiet except for the wind and birds up in the rafters. Right near the door is a Norman-era arch dated to 1100-1140 that has carved human faces in various attitudes: And behind that is an Anglo-Saxon cross or stele that was rediscovered in 1873 during demolition of part of the church.

For example, the English Standard Version (ESV) , says in a footnote: Some manuscripts do not include [John] 7:53–8:11; others add the passage here or after 7:36 or after 21:25 or after Luke 21:38, with variations in the text. Having the account not only be missing in some manuscripts, but appearing in different places and with variations, makes it an interesting case. The David Bentley Hart translation of the New Testament gives more detail and background to this: There is little doubt among scholars that the episode of the woman taken in adultery was not written by the same hand that produced the surrounding text. It is not found in the earliest manuscripts of John, or in any Greek or Lati
