Yes, I have a new taste for sushi. It's kind of weird really. It was always distasteful to me. Well, I suppose some forms of sushi are still not what I would want to put in my mouth, but a couple of them are really good. The mixture of the rice, wasabi, soy sauce, pickled ginger, and other ingredients are just a good thing. Anyway, we ate some tonight. Of course, I'm sure I'm like a junior sushi flipper for sure, but that's OK with me.
Oh and we're watching some special on the National Geographic channel about the Gospel of Judas. It's amazing. I really think there's something to it. I believe I'm honest feeling the secret knowledge of God welling up inside me as I listen to this...
...Oooooor not. Yeah, that fragrance I was smelling was, mmmm, something like horse crap. Secret knowledge my ass. Certainly there was "secret knowledge," and it was revealed by Jesus. And I'm not scholar, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that very likely the "gospel" of Judas (I'm not even going to capitalize that mess) isn't a part of said Revelation. This show is all but calling the early Church Fathers fearful bafoons. What the hell? Seriously people. Obviously, this is no well-crafted response to anything. Just pointing something out. Maybe... St. Judas, pray for us.
Honestly, perhaps, just perhaps, my new taste for sushi is more important than this so-called "new gospel." I find it fairly entertaining the stink being made over this, as well as the time and energy put into it by Christian scholars. I am not impressed. I may even be discouraged. God's Grace be with us.
