Despite the hard times, we had a pretty great Christmas all around. I got a ukulele! Soon I shall be its master...
Except, I'm distracted by the excellent online multiplayer experience of Call of Duty: World at War for the Wii. It's an impressive, fairly full-featured experience that is so far extremely addicting. (Anyone else out there want to exchange some COD friend codes?) Gears of War 2 has also proven to be an entertaining romp, although I can't imagine having as much fun if it weren't for cooperative play with my brother.
Merry Christmas!
Why does Matthew have Jesus riding on two donkeys at the same time? Because he misread Zechariah 9:9 which reads in part, "mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey."(source)
Anyone familiar with Old Testament Hebrew would know that the word translated "and" in this passage does not indicate another animal but is used in the sense of "even" (which is used in many translations) for emphasis. The Old Testament often uses parallel phrases which refer to the same thing for emphasis, but Matthew was evidently not familiar with this usage. Although the result is rather humorous, it is also very revealing.

I got my bro COD for 360 and he also is thoroughly enjoying it. He got me Dead Space which is great and terrifying.
Dude, I just bought myself a uke! I've been playing the shit out of it! And by playing the shit out of it, I mean one of the few songs I know on it over and over again:
