Startled, he closed the book, ...read more

    British conductor Sir Thomas Beecham wasn’t a great admirer of the music of his fellow Briton, composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. During the rehearsal of a Williams symphony, Beecham seemed to be doing little more than listlessly beating time. In fact, he was still beating time after the orchestra ...read more

    Individuals Read Web Pages in an “F” pattern. They’re more inclined to read longer sentences at the top of a page and less and less as they scroll down says a recent Nielsen Norman Group study. That makes the first 2-3 words of a sentence very important. Surfers connect well with images of people ...read more

    First of all, the Gospel of Phillip is a Gnostic text that is widely considered by scholars to have been written at least a century after the canonical gospels. So it’s not authoritative. Second, even that debunked book does not refer to Jesus having married Mary Magdalene, but simply states that ...read more

    I think of David Livingstone, the pioneer missionary to Africa, who walked over 29,000 miles. His wife died early in their ministry and he faced stiff opposition from his Scottish brethren.
