   Hello,

   I would like to use some of your comments in an essay. Is this okay with you and how would I cite you as a source?

   Thanks
   Tammy

   Tammy,

   Yes, it is OK.

   I’m not really sure how you cite internet resources to be honest, but I imagine that if you poke around the web with a search like “Chicago internet citation” or “MLA internet citation” someone will have come up with some specific format.

   For the sake of interest: what comments?

   Cheers.

   Scott, you’re probably all over this already but Jesus has just upped the anti in the Mary v Jesus Appearathon. By the way, wasn’t it supposed to be Mary’s turn?

   Hi, Scott. I read your blog now and then and I have a gold mine of a clip for you. But first, an introduction. I’m a music student in college and in one of my singing classes we watched this video that will soon likely be viral, I even heard about it on the radio today:

   It’s quite funny and I was showing it to some other people when we decided to watch some of this guy’s other videos. That’s when we stumbled upon this, a video so amazingly mind-blowing that I’m not even going to describe it. Just watch. Words are not enough.

   If you notice, many of his favorite videos on his profile page feature Joel Osteen. There’s yer problem.

   I’m convinced this guy is the greatest comedic mind of our generation.

     I’m not completely convinced this isn’t some sort of hoax myself, but regardless, it’s very funny.

   Hey Scott,
   Visiting for the first time and wanted to see what you thoughts were on my interpretation of THE OUR FATHER.
   I see it as a letter from a kid who is away at summer camp. His Dad sent him there because of the same reasons parents choose to send their kids away: getting them out of the bubble at home in order to gain self discovery and growth. The parent is living vicariously on the loved one’s feedback of recognizing beauty and wonder, moments of fun & anxiety. Most importantly; hearing the kid say for the first time on how much they miss Him and how they now appreciate Him sending them away to do all these different forms of (re)creation. How they can’t wait to show Him what they’ve learned when they get home… If the parent had done nothing, we’d have bored, stymied kids slouching and whining around the house all summer. It’s what makes heaven better…

     Well, I don’t think it would pass the test of the sensus literalis, but it could be patristic in an allegorical sense as long as you didn’t try to take the allegory too far.

         er…I meant Jesus spoke more in the figurative than the mode you just employed ( which is OK, as long as there is a good WIKIPEDIA geek out there that specializes in medieval hermeneutics)
