Dancing... or drinking through life
I am not even sure that I know how to do a link anymore. I'm giving it a shot though so, three readers, please forgive me if I mess this up.
So Rod Dreher's sister is battling cancer. It is nasty. Their faith is extraordinary. Here's his latest post (I think)

Back...
I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time. I doubt that many of the thoughts will be political - there are plenty upon plenty of people offering their opinions on everything political and I doubt that I have much to add that will

Learning to tell a story
For the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting. It began as a writing project - probably the 21st Century version of a yen to write the great American novel - a shot at a screenplay. I knew that I knew nothing about the art but was inspir

And just one more
I have, I think, just one more round of chemo left.
When I go through my pill popping regimen tomorrow morning it will be the last time for this particular round of drugs. Twenty-three rounds, it seems, is enough.
What comes next? We'll go back to what we did after the surgery. We'll watch and measu

That is a superb question, well-suited for Friday. Since Adam was made in God’s image, it might depend on whether the almighty has a belly button. Maybe ask James Kennedy.
Regardless, how I vote in ’08 depends on the answer.

LOL – Doug
Adam as a mythological first man – the important part was that humanity was created out of profound love – no belly button needed for mythological figures. My question – OK so who did Cain and Able and Seth marry? (and that is the question that got me kicked out of Sunday School when I was four. My mother was told not to bring me back. I had too many questions)

Now Thinker, stay with this Friday’s random question. We’ll save yours for a future Friday.

OK, so check the Sistine Chapel. I believe he has one there.

As per my church’s former associate pastor, who posted an answer to this very question on a church forum some time ago:
“Of course they did. Eve had an innie and Adam had an outie. However, they won’t tell me how they got them. I think they felt like they didn’t fit in and so the asked God nicely and at last they got belly buttons. God saw it and said it was good.”
That’s Pastor Jay’s answer and good enough for me.

Can an analogy, a metaphor, HAVE a belly button???
As for ‘fitting in’, there were no other humans in this allegory for them to ‘fit in’ with!
P.S. “Eve” was “Adam’s” second “wife”. Now ask if Lillith had a belly button.
