Parallels and a Third Partition
Problem: When I run Windows XP in Parallels, I cannot run a program (in my case, Logos) which is on a partition separate from the one from which Parallels runs. (I split my hard drive into 3 partitions: (1) mac osx; (2) extra stuff (FAT32); and (3) Windows XP. Logos is on “extra stuff” drive,… Continue Reading

Epaenetus and the brother in 2 Cor 8:18
Richard Fellows recently suggested the possible connection between the name “Epaenetus” and benefaction: Now, the name “Epaenetus”, means “praised/commended”, and, like “Stephanas”, also belongs to the semantic field of benefaction. There are numerous inscriptions in which beneficiaries agree to “praise” a benefactor, and Rom 13:3 also appears to use the term in connection with benefactions… Continue Reading
US Government Worried about Spending?
Once upon a time. Mike Anderson recently discussed how the United States Constitutional Convention debated the form of governments employed by ancient and modern empires. Regarding how many senators ought to be elected from each state, Mike reports that “the convention debated two versus three, but decided three would be too expensive.” Senate.gov recalls: During… Continue Reading
