There is no time like the present to wish you all the best in this new year. I hope to be back to blogging next week, as in the week starting January 19. Life takes little side trips we do not count on. Thank you for your continued interest and comments.

Fundamentalism is very controlling, but sometimes just out of sheer ignorance--when I learned to read, I was an insatiable reader. I read anything left in my reach, so I read a lot--no one stopped me; the problem though was that there was nothing to reach for. I do remember there was a book by John Ruskin on my fundamentalist grandparents' shelves. My non-religious grandparent had a whole room of books, but I was not allowed in there. Too bad. It was a nice sunny room with a view.

Is Jesus God or Not?

As I was reading Fakirs Canada's blog and the ensuing thread, I kept remembering my own experience. As a very young child in an evangelical fundamental dispensational church in southern California, down in the land of Tim Lahay and Hal Lindsey and at a time when they were just bursting on to the scene, I soaked in the Sunday School facts I was fed weekly, that Jesus was God's son, an equal part of the Triune deity called the godhead. I assumed they were right, after all they were the grown ups, right?
