EGW shows up in the strangest places

All you SDAs know exactly what I thought when I saw this post title over at Pharyngula:

SOP for prophets

UPDATE: Ellen G. White is held to be a prophet in the Seventh-day Adventist church. She had visions; wrote books, articles, and countless letters; and was a co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist church. The term "spirit of prophecy" is often used among Adventists to refer to her or to her writings. And it's sometimes abbreviated to SOP. I didn't even think twice when I read the headline—it took the article to clarify its meaning.

Some habits die hard.

Hi Vera. Just popping in to say hi. How have you been? I'm well, at peace, thankful, learning more each day. And still happily de-converted. :-)

Sometimes I wonder if I should resurrect my blog. I miss the sharing via this medium. But I'm so busy nowadays, I fear that it will only get sacrificed again.

We'll see. :-)

BTW, re this post, would love to see how this all pans out.
