Bundesliga Week 7:

Here’s where our faves stand at the end of week 7:

Köln at 6, Bremen at 12, St. Pauli at 14

All the teams have been dropping since stronger starts, but none in danger of relegation, yet. St. Pauli’s big defeat at home was rough, but they and […]

While I’m quoting the Bible, gotta give a shout out to these two editions. Both routinely pull me out of my assumptions.

Left I especially like the names-with-meaning and right seems to be closer than many translations to original languages while preserving readability.
The image features two books. On the left is the "First Nations Version," described as an Indigenous translation of the New Testament. On the right is "The Bible for Everyone," translated by John Goldingay and Tom (N.T.) Wright

🎲 Isle of Ixx has been a great “pick up and go quickly” game, but it’s time for one that is more relevant to our times.

I think the winner will be another Oddlike: Fallen Blades/Endless Stars. You play mystic space knights (episode 1) or scoundrels (episode 2) […]

🕊️ Off to a strong start from Trey Ferguson
An excerpt from the book discussing the connections between Anabaptist and Black Church traditions. Highlighted: “Both Anabaptists and the Black Church have illuminated a path that shows us that suffering need not dehumanize the persecuted, even as it reveals the truth about persecutors.”
