This Week’s Posts: Sunday, January 20-Sunday, January 27 2013 (And a Note on the Short-Term Future of this Blog)

BLOGGING NOTE: At present I am experiencing frequent and annoying trouble with my computer and may have to take it in for repairs (or worse, purchase a new one). If either scenario comes about, blogging may be interrupted for a few days or more. If you’re looking for a commentary on one of the daily readings you can try searching for it on Google as in the following example: The Divine Lamp on Mark 3:22-30. If I have commentary (or links to commentary) on the desired reading, it should appear on Google.
