And the Joke’s On..

Last night, as I was trying to get to sleep I was giving thanks for the predictable seasons in our lives. You know, the busy, festive holiday season followed by the fresh, starting-over feeling of the New Year. As I followed that line of thought, I got to thinking about how Rev. Van Dyken my former pastor and catechism teacher always told us that the joke was on the secularists because even though they denied God in everything, they still had to sign dates as A.D. – Anno Domini, In the Year of Our Lord. Now the busy little bees have noticed this discrepancy and have started rewriting the history books in C.E. (Common Era) and B.C.E. (Before the Common Era). I was disgruntled by this thought but I\’c2\~chuckled (silently, so as not to wake Michael up)\’c2\~when I realized that whether you call it AD or CE, it’s still in terms of years, i.e. the the time it takes the earth to circle around the sun. And Who determined that time period, hmmm?
