Hello? <tap><tap><tap> Is this thing on?

Anyone out there in the blogosphere?!

I have seen a number of views of my blog articles but no feedback.  Is there anyone out there who wants to reply?  Well, perhaps you do not know how.

[Editor's note: this is no longer the process after we upgraded in 2012]

Fox News.com reported Monday that a scientific study presented evidence that "a sensory cell can process an alternative sensation".  They differentiated this process from the already previously known condition named synesthesia where some people are able to feel, hear, and taste colors.   In essence the study has found that our auditory nervous system can send auditory signals to the image processing centers of the brain for faster tracking of sounds.

"Where is this found in Scripture" you might ask?

FYI to everyone: I am going to (retroactively) abbreviate "words for thought" as WFT in the title of those articles...  just to abbreviate things for brevity in the blog list.

WFT- anathema

Merriam-Webster's Word for the Day on Monday, August 11th was anathema.  I read the WOTD email and thought "Wow.  That's a word I haven't heard used outside of Scripture."

Here is how M-W defined it:

1 a : one that is cursed by ecclesiastical authority b: someone or something intensely disliked or loathed 2 a : a ban or curse solemnly pronounced by ecclesiastical authority and accompanied by excommunication b : a vigorous denunciation : curse
