Only One Church
Posted: July 14, 2007 Filed under: Of Mice and Men Leave a comment
I read an article on MSNBC about the Pope’s recent statement concerning the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church. He reaffirmed that Christ established only one church, and that all other Christian denominations are “ecclesial communities” without the means to salvation. An interesting quote:
“Christ ‘established here on earth’ only one church . . . [Other communities] cannot be called ‘churches’ in the proper sense” because they do not have apostolic succession — the ability to trace their bishops back to Christ’s original apostles.
I don’t know, it sounds an awful lot like they’ve got the right idea and the wrong church…
Weight Loss Program
Posted: July 13, 2007 Filed under: Of Mice and Men 4 CommentsJenny, Sally, Peggy, and Alice all went through a weight loss diet program. Their combined weight loss after the program was equal to Sally’s weight before the program. Jenny weight before the program was twice Peggy’s weight after the program. The combined weight of Sally, Peggy and Alice before the program was four times Peggy’s weight after the program. The combined weight of Jenny and Sally before the program was thrice Sally’s weight after the program. Peggy and Alice both loss the same amount of pounds. Twice Sally’s weight loss was equal to thrice Alice weight loss. Sally loss 20 pounds more than Peggy. The combined weight loss of Jenny and Sally is equal to 140 pounds.
What are the weights of Jenny, Sally, Peggy, and Alice before and after the weight loss program?
Order of the Phoenix
Posted: July 12, 2007 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well Leave a commentAt work yesterday when it was brought to my attention that the new Harry Potter movie was now in theaters, I looked up showing times online and found that the theater in north Provo still had tickets from 6:15pm on. Of course, by the time we actually made it over there to buy tickets, they were sold out until 10:00pm. Sure, why not?
Unfortunately, although I thought this was the best book-to-movie adaptation since Chamber of Secrets, it is apparently very confusing for someone who has not read the book. Now I have to translate the mental notes I made and put away during the movie – inconsistencies and things I thought were important enough to include (like the two-way mirror, or more of the last scene with Dumbledore and Harry!) – into a good explanation of the book’s plot, and how the movie did or didn’t follow the same plot.
I wish I knew where my copy was…
