Christ is Risen!


Be Poets of the Logos!

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh". This is the blog of a Southern Man (sojourning in Buffalo, NY) attempting to follow God in the way of Jesus.

NB: I'm currently on a "Blogging Sabbatical" to celebrate my 15th Year of online Journaling. While "Daily Tweets", the occasional review of a book, movie or eatery and Photo Blogging all continue, the daily posts have stopped until January 2011. All comments are currently in moderation.

Disclaimer

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men.

  • Yays, the schedule is up! Have printed it out and enclosed it in my book. Which means I probably ought to start reading, eh? And getting Lee blogworthy. Kind of like seaworthy, but with blogs in the blogosphere.

    Blogosphere. What an odd word. Like a cross between Biosphere 2 and that round cage that motorcycles zip around in uber fast at circuses and fairs and the like.

  • Huw – will you make it easy on us, and create a post that has all of our rss feeds in it, so we can load it into our readers?

    Please?

    Gracias,

    Hi Huw! Okay, I printed the reading schedule. I’ll get a little more help from Sare and I think I’ll be able to do this! What a learning experience this is! Keeps me from classifying myself as “old and dated”! Thanks!
