It happened. Our 7yo was at a friend’s house. Santa came up and she utterly rejected the idea of his existence & was unrelenting on her position with her friends who were shocked to hear her words. Then, she turns to the mother and asks, “Well, do YOU think Santa is real?” 😬 🤦🏻♂️

Anyone still watch Survivor? It’s on season 47 and I still watch it every week. Such an interesting window into social dynamics in unique and unpredictable situations.

I’m looking for book ideas for our 7yo girl who is devouring books. I’m specifically looking for mini chapter-book series. She’s enjoyed reading through the Angelina Ballerina books and the Cam Jansen books. 📚

All the reading I’ve done on the topic suggests that this will be a great move for Australian children and families. Wow.

Many of you are probably already following @christophheilig.bsky.social and have seen his analysis of the PwJ discussions at #sblaar24 last week. But in case you missed it, this is a helpful summary from a sympathetic but unconvinced Pauline scholar.
Some thoughts in the aftermath of the (first) #sblaar24 session on "Paul within Judaism" ... (And yes, for my English newsletter you can now follow me un Substack.)

I’m just finishing the final report for a grant I received this year (Pedagogy of Koine Greek for Spanish Speakers Using Insights from SLA). Super thankful for the generosity of CBU and am excited about possible outcomes from this research! 😀
