Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves?

Last updated on: April 6, 2023 at 4:00 pm By Ben Witherington

Certainly, Dungeons and Dragons has been one of the more popular games to play with others online, for a very long time. I’m quite surprised it hasn’t been made into a movie well before now. And the cast is quite good– especially Chris Pine, Hugh Grant (to add a certain amount of whimsy to a villain), and Michelle Rodriguez of Fast and Furious Fame are all excellent in their roles. The movie is rated PG-13 due to violence and a... Read more

Parenthood– a Reflection

Last updated on: March 31, 2023 at 8:24 am By Ben Witherington

PARENTHOOD Parenthood’s a mirror Revealing all your flaws You try to repress them A rebel with a cause But it does not work, it cannot work Because despite it all Those flaws just keep appearing Like writing on a wall. So, you divert attention To things you do quite well To avoid listening to the voice That has that truth to tell You revel in successes That don’t involve your child You ignore their plaintive calling...

The Players– a Trip to Ponte Vedra

Last updated on: March 24, 2023 at 7:46 am By Ben Witherington

Certainly one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in the world is the Players Club in Florida, home of the Players Championship each year, which brings most of the top golfers to Ponte Vedre. My sister Laura got us tickets to go on a nice sunny, 65F degree day and we set out early in the morning to go see the play. It had been at least 60 years since I went with my father to the GGO,...

The Virtues of Christian Pacifism

Last updated on: March 22, 2023 at 9:11 pm By Ben Witherington

Though many Christians including many Protestants have ignored the literally millions of Protestants who are Christian pacifists, and even considered them anti-American, their tribes keep increasing. There are whole denominations of them— various kinds of Old and New order Amish, and various sorts of Mennonites, and Brethren and Quakers as well. And scattered among the many other more familiar Protestant denominations are quite a few as well. An interesting read of related matters can be found in the book Moral... Read more

The Oldest City in the U.S.– St. Augustine

Last updated on: March 22, 2023 at 9:18 am By Ben Witherington

St. Augustine is a city that has become something of a tourist trap, especially in its old downtown area. While we were there, there was a biker convention with bikers from everywhere showing up which created a major parking problem. You would hardly know it was the oldest city in the U.S. (1565– the Spanish showed up). The honky tonk downtown was in full swing while we were there, featuring some decidedly non-Spanish food And some reminders of a past... Read more

Koinonia Farms and Christian Communal Living

Last updated on: March 22, 2023 at 8:06 am By Ben Witherington

It’s an unassuming place, a peach and pecan farm on the edge of Americus Georgia not far from Plains. Here’s my friend Mark Magoni who kindly took me to Plains and Americus in his pickup truck. He’s a Methodist pastor in Macon Ga. If you know anything about this place you know about Clarence Jordan’s Cottonpatch Gospel which was later made into a play, with music and lyrics by the great Harry Chapin and created quite a stir. Jordan (1912-1969)... Read more
