From Homeward Bound, commenting on a news story about the Amish donating money to help support the widow of the individual who murdered a bunch of Amish girls last year:

We can take issue with any number of Amish theological positions, but we have to admit and admire that this community has shown the world, and more importantly the Church, what it means to live out Christ-like forgiveness and charity.

..was from his mother's womb untimely ripped

Our son will be able to use that Shakespeare quote truthfully when he's a bit older. We (me and Shena) welcomed a little boy into our lives at 0828 Thursday morning, the 13th of September. His name is Miles Gideon Boes. He weighed 6# 13oz (one ounce lighter than Eliana was), and was 51cm long (same as his big sister!) He was born by caesarean section due to lying breach. It was very surreal to say the night before "tomorrow, we're going to the hospital to have a baby). In fact, we knew for over a week which day we were going to have this child. Those who live in the area are welcome to stop by the maternity ward at LMH and say hi, we're in room 345. Due to the c-section, Shena and Miles should be discharged Sunday morning.

PS (for those who are thinking it)...kind of fitting that my son is born on a 13th, don't you think?!

For some reason I like the sense of humour expressed in Bizarro. I spent a little bit of time digging through some archives for a few favourites: 1 2 3 4 5

Enjoy!

Update: I couldn't resist adding another one

I've been feeling a bit peeved with the folks at the White Horse Inn lately. This week it was a different thing that annoyed me about the show, but on their second last show they seemed to be treating interviewees unfairly and setting up a false dilemna. If you ask someone to define a word and don't clarify further, any of the multiple different definitions you might find in a dictionary should be an acceptable answer.

This also seems to be what the federal vision advocates seem to also be arguing - that their critics have forgotten to read the dictionary. I haven't read deeply enough on the issue yet to be able to come to any conclusions worthy of sharing, but incidents like these factor in the federal vision's favour.
