• Somthing I've known for awhile...

  I don't know if many of you know, so I'm sharing. (I'm nice like that. )
  
  There are only 4 gospels in the New Testament because "Irenaeus, the real founder of the Canon, was explicit in the matter: there are four quarters of the earth, four universal winds, and animals have four legs." (I borrowed the quote because I kept misspelling the guy's name. grrr) Or as someone else wrote: "Irenaeus the great Christian Bishop of Lyon in 180AD answered in a way which to us is not very persuasive. He said that the earth has four corners, there are four living creatures, there are four winds and there are four covenants. So there should be four gospels to match!"
  
  (See those Four Winds? hehehehe Powerful stuff. )
  
  Before I wasn't a Christian, I didn't even know the existence of other gospels. When I found out why only 4 used in the bible, I could only shake my head..."four corners." Irenaeus sounds like a truly enlightened creature.
  
  Oh! Have you seen Zeitgeist the Movie? It contains a great deal of information I've stumbled upon in last few years. It's put together well. I know it's only an interpretation of information, but the conclusions it offers are noteworthy. The movie's long, full-length, so you may want to watch in sections or schedule some time for it. It's nothing if not thought-provoking.
  
  *****************************
  On the homefront, all is well. Ruby's baby is due at the end of August. She'll have a C-section because the placenta is sitting on her cervix. She and her boyfriend will be moving back here next week. (They've been in another town...not far away, but with the price of gas...) It'll be good to have her nearby.
  
  Dustin and Bambi are fine. They have friends over often, and I so dig the energy. It helps that the kids dig me, back.
  
  My new job, preparing legal loan documents (among other things), is going well. I like working with the computer, and preparing the documents is like trying to solve a puzzle with pieces that can be trimmed, enlarged, recolored, etc. (The Loan Officers don't really know how to tell us what they want. It's a test of communication daily.) I like those kinds of puzzles. lol
  
  My parents are considering moving away...and my sister and her husband will likely go with them. That'll be different. My parents have always had a Go Bug, so it's been nice having them close for the last 11 years. We are all very close, so it'll be a time of major adjustment for me. I'm good with it. (Although the little girl in me is already crying...)
  
  I'm off to do housework and all that fun stuff. lol Have a great weekend!
  I love you...GFW
