Yad HaShmonah was the subject of a 10-page article in the Orthodox magazine Yated Ne’eman. A summary is given in this week’s Caspari Media Review. Consider the source and don’t believe everything you read.
David Powlison also has prostate cancer and takes the opportunity to add to Piper’s recent essay, “Don’t Waste Your Cancer.”
Craig Dunning shows the latest in Israeli political advertisements.
Eric Zeller gives a brief summation of an article on why Goliath was only 6’9″. I heard the paper read at a seminar a year ago and found it quite persuasive.
The Archaeological Study Bible arrived. I hear it’s available for 50% off at the Gordon Conwell bookstore until May 6. That’s $25 for hardback, $40 for bonded leather, $45 for top grain leather.

Sidewalk art photos – unbelievable!
Todd- so, not to be a stinker…but, maybe proof read your last sentence…it has a typo in it. And, I know how much you love editing errors ;)
It looks like you had a wonderful time, wish I was there. However, I’m glad that you keep up your “hobby” of photography to aid those who would learn about the importance of history/geography/etc. Thanks for your work!
oops, its acutally your second to last sentence ;)
Todd, is Deuteronomy still your “favorite” book of the Bible? I am reading it again right now and it is truly amazing! It is full of a great, mighty, personal God and reasons for careful attention and adherence to His word. Good stuff!
Scribe – I’m not sure that I would ever say that Deut is my favorite book. It is “a” favorite, but at the end of the day, I’m a NT Christian and many of the most precious truths are not expressed explicitly in that book.
I guess “a” favorite is probably how you expressed it – it was in relation to the history of ancient Israel when you said it (context is usually helpful, isn’t it?), but you did express a deep appreciation for it! Yes, the NT does contain what I would consider more pertinent truth to essential Christianity. :) Good point, I stand corrected!
