Entrance to Xibalba Found!

Of course, to get there, you have to travel a long path filled with obstacles. Including "rivers filled with scorpions, blood and pus." Yummyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Archaeological dig in Mexico; found it at MSNBC.



A wee bit morbid, I know, but I'm always interested in learning about the spirituality of ancient peoples; especially comparing and contrasting them to the Faith.

Mosab Hassan Yousef gets my vote for Bravest Man of the Year

He's 30.

He was born in the West Bank.

His dad is Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a big-to-do in Hamas (yes, the Hamas).


Mosab Hassan Yousef is now a Christian, speaking out against Islam.


FoxNews has a rather lengthy, but incredibly insightful interview with the man, who has a 'unique' perspective on religion, to say the least. I found it a very inspiring read.

Brief Quote from M. Luther

The Gospel brings donations. It pleads for open hands to take what is being offered. The Law has nothing to give. It demands, and its demands are impossible.
