Bible bloggers are not doing much blogging lately. With the Middle East in flames and with the genocide of Christians in Iraq and Syria people feel that reflections on Scripture are a luxury. We all want to enlist in the military and restore peace to the Holy Land, and bring the surviving Christians back to their homes. We all want to help. I will give money to the Knights of Columbus for their work helping the persecuted Christians, and the desperate Yazidis. The Knights will make sure the donations go where they should go. I'm not sure what else I can do. We are all trying to figure that out.
Well, I'm going to keep blogging. The Apostle Paul found time to write in a war torn world. The priests exiled to Babylon wrote much of what we call the OT in the middle of their wars and persecutions. There is nothing wrong with the Jesuit idea of contemplation in action. Blogging is contemplation.
