Save Marriage Petition

admin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 05:13:57 +0000

To the delegates of the 2011 Labor National Conference:
Marriage is the union of one man and one woman, voluntarily entered into for life.

It is an institution vital to the well-being of all of society. In particular it confirms the importance of motherhood and fatherhood and seeks to protect children’s biological identity.

It has a meaning that we hold deeply for its cultural, religious and social significance.

We urge you not to redefine marriage in your party platform to admit relationships to which it does not naturally or historically apply.

Bible Cross References, ‘Bible Social Network’, and Distribution of people and places

Chris Harrison, of Carnegie Mellon University, and Christopher Romhild,
of Nordelbische Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche in Germany, have created a
graphic that shows 63,779 cross-references between different portions
of the Bible. The colored lines are the cross-references. The white bars
at the bottom represent the number of verses in each individual chapter
of the Bible; the long white bar at bottom center would be Psalm 119,
which has 176 verses.

The original web page for this work is at http://www.chrisharrison.net/index.php/Visualizations/BibleViz, and you can see a zoomable version of the graphic at http://gigapan.org/gigapans/5872/.

Also on his project page is a really interesting ‘Bible Social Network’ map, and another interesting graphic about the distribution of Biblical people and places which shows the entire Bible printed on a sheet of paper . You can also download high-res versions from his site – some are over 100Mb in size!

The Lord is my Shepherd

admin — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 22:48:40 +0000

This time lapse reminds me of the 23rd Psalm

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
