A personal journal about teaching the Bible and ancient Near Eastern history/theology/religion/archaeology to university students in New Orleans, and whatever else happens to be on my mind.

Biblical Solutions
There were a few tornadoes that hit New Orleans in the middle of the night. I heard the airport suffered damage, and houses that stood through the flooding now collapses. On my walk to school I saw several downed powerlines, broken trees, and other signs of high winds. There was also water all over my desk in my office. I told my students that if we lived in biblical times, the priest would use the urim and thummim and find out who God is angry with, and then we would kill them in a public place.
