I just love odd items of in the historical realm. This would be one of them. I happened onto the fine internet home of Pyromaniac, otherwise known as Phil Johnson (*not* to be confused with Phil E. Johnson, author of Darwin on Trial
for those in the know). He is the Executive Director of Grace to You,
the John MacArthur radio ministry. I look forward to reading his blog
since he seems like an interesting person with some serious theological
brains *and* a sense of humor to boot. That is always welcome here at Under the Sky. His post of interest is found here. You will have to scroll down a wee bit to find it, but it is listed as You say "Cappuccino"; I say "Capuchini". This is a vain attempt to loop all us caffeine-dependent
morning bloggers to read a history post disguised as a coffee post. He
plays tricksies, precious! It worked, but that was not terribly
difficult for me. I love history so I thought the news of the odd (and
it is odd for certain) was great. Check it out and tell me what you
think.
Enjoy your cappuccinos today! (Cheshire grin...) Kate
I saw your post on TWTM about RC Sr. having a blog. I don't where I read it, but I thought I read somewhere that he has never really even used the internet before. If I'm wrong, and he does indeed have a blog, and you find it, let me know. I'm reading the book Grace Unknown right now, and it's excellent.
That was oddly disgustingly facsinating. It was like a train wreck. I couldn't stop reading. Where DO you find these things, my friend? I wish that guy would start a blog here. WHAT a strangely interesting fellow.
I was distracted at first by all the coffee talk; brown robes; beautiful brown color of the coffee I have yet to make this morning; creamy, just a hint of sugar, brown coffee that I really, really want right now.....
until I reached the pictures, and the descriptions, and more pictures. Good heavens!
Can you imagine spending that much time working on corpses? Then you would REALLY need a cup of coffee!
Just dropping you a few lines to say hello! I really enjoyed my visit to your blog! It was strangely fascinating. I agree that it was like a train wreck, a part of you wants to stop but you just can't. Of course, I had to really crank my neck and get a good look; I clicked on the like for Rosalia. I was amazed by how lifelike while at the same time I was overcome by a serious case of the heebie-jeebies. Thanks so much for sharing! =)
Hi Kate. I too read and love Pyromaniac. I really wish he would allow annon. comments. I'm not a freak, really, I'm not, I just don't have my own blog. :) In fact, if I could reach the man he could help us find two long lost friends. I know my friend works closely with Phil. Anyway, blessings to you Kate and I hope you end up on his Blogspotting! Love Janet.
I love to read, I love my husband and children, I love my Savior. I enjoy dark roast coffee with cream and sugar, Earl Grey tea with scones and clotted cream, long walks in forested areas and Redwood trees. I have a mad passion for history, strong sound Reformed theology, and good creation science materials. I have strong opinions, but respect those of others. I am grateful for my life, for every breath, for each day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice in His mercy.
