Weekend is here…and I’m working

Just a quick one before working through the weekend at the ER; had today off, so got a few things done around home. Was able to get in some guitar practice and read some more of The Expected One by Kathleen McGowan. This is part of a series concerning the Mary Magdalene “controversy” that became the rage with Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code. Personally, I didn’t find that novel very well written. I have been fortunate enough to have become familiar with the Magdalene story while reading up on the Knights Templar. All of these storyline are intertwined, and there are several theories associated with them – not to mention quite a few very interesting characters. Let me state from the start that I am a Reformed Protestant, a member of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. Whether or not Jesus took a wife; whether it was that Mary; children, or no, does nothing to diminish my faith in His saving grace. Ms. McGowan does a fine job pulling these strands together into an enthralling story, with just enough art history to keep me Googling.
