Joe speaks!

Good day all…now that I’m done my classes for this semester I thought I’d use a little of my free time to add something to our blog. The article below is a very appropriate piece of writing, obviously because of the time of year, and also because Amy and I and some of our close friends have decided to boycott the commercial side of Christmas this year.

This is an essay of sorts by C.S. Lewis (who, incidentally I have been a huge fan of for years – not just since the Hollywood popularization of Narnia). Herodotus was a fifth century BC historian; much of what he wrote are accounts of different cultures he encountered while traveling.

I think – barring Nike asking us for advertising space on our blog – that it’s legal for me to put this here. Just in case though, please don’t tell anyone at W. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. that their copyrighted material is on our blog. :)

Wishing you all a stress-free holiday season.
