Two Things

1.
Holiday at the Sea: Wish I'd thought of that blog title. The blogger is Brent Thomas, and one of his favorite bands of all time is The Housemartins. And you know what, that makes Brent Thomas all right with me.

2. Al Hsu, commenting on the flim called Under the Same Moon, says,

The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that if Jesus were preaching here today, he would probably use immigration narratives as the basis of his parables. I can totally imagine him saying, "The kingdom of God is like this: An undocumented worker gave up everything of the life she once knew, to journey to a new land, to gain a better life for her and her family . . ."

Or perhaps: "There once was a son whose mother was in a distant country. He left his home to search for his mother until she was found . . ."

That's worth saying.
