I have decided to add a Humor category to my blog. Sometimes it is good to step back and look at the lighter side, especially when we can laugh at ourselves.

This Biola University article tells us why the music, messages, and ministries of many churches drive men away.
I really like my web host, which is Bluehost.com. Eleven months ago when I first signed up, they provided 4 GB storage and 100 GB for transfers. After a few months they upgraded all their accounts to 10 GB storage and 250 GB transfers. Automatically!
Today I received an email with the following message:
We are writing you today to tell about some good news regarding your bluehost account. Starting May 1st Bluehost will be offering 15 Gigs of disk space, and 400 Gigs of data transfer. As always when these upgrades occur you aren’t charged a thing.
That’s almost 4 times the storage than I started out with less than a year ago, for the same price. This time I had to hit “Reply” and request the upgrade, but that is very easy. I think that it is very cool that they informed their current customers about the upgrade even before it appears on their web site. Compare this to my former host, which upgraded the accounts that they were selling but didn’t even inform the current customers. I had to discover the upgrade on their web site and call them to request the upgrade. Add 24/7 toll free telephone support and a price of $6.95/month (when you pay for 2 years), and it’s a hard deal to beat!
Read DaVinci Code: A Myth of Christian Origins by NT professor Andreas Köstenberger .
Here is an interesting discussion by two New Testament scholars on the question of the role of women in the church based on 1 Tim. 2:9-15. This discussion is notable because it is a brief dialogue between two respected NT scholars on opposite sides of the complementarian/egalitarian debate. I think that they do a good job of getting past the rhetoric and discussing the substantive issues with an attitude of respect. I’m glad that there are some seminary professors who blog!
