Raven Brings Road-kill sandwiches
In his blog, "God has a sense of humour" Tim explores the "blessing" of the Raven's home delivery to Elijah. Road Kill Sandwiches is a brilliant insight into this story that is very close to home... At last someone gets it ... Thanks Tim for this great post! My Raven aka is unmasked, sorry to disappoint anyone who thought "Raven" had anything to do with my black hair.

Jesus Christ Halloween Costume
This news article puzzles me. Why on a day that it is OK to dress up as the devil, a vampire, a witch, a smurf ... wherever your imagination takes you is it not OK to dress up as Jesus Christ? This is so crispy on so many levels. When teachers make decisions based on their own bias or prejudice they are usually the wrong ones. Way to go Superintendent James Montesano - if Jesus Christ is distracting in a classroom of devils I want to know what he was up to? Casting out the devils? Now that is a distraction that I'd like to witness. That's taking one for the team, anything to get out of class.
"PARAMUS, N.J. — Dressing up as Jesus Christ for Halloween turned out to be a problem for a northern New Jersey boy.
Alex Woinski, an eighth-grader at West Brook Middle School in Paramus, was sent home from school on Friday because of his costume.
Alex, who has shoulder-length brown hair, wore a white robe, a red sash, sandals, a fake beard and a crown of thorns.
His mother says Alex was told he could keep the costume on if he removed the beard and crown of thorns, but he declined.
Superintendent James Montesano says the district doesn't want students wearing costumes that could be distracting."
