Who knows?

In the I'm not exactly sure what to make of it category, the hottest trend on Hollywood's schedule appears to be ... religion.
Faith based entertainement is in the midsmeback, at least partially because of the success of the mini-series, The Bible. NBC has announced it will produce a sequl. Then there are multiple upcoming movies about Moses, a new film about Noah and a new production of Exodus.
And then there are the renewals of such ratings-busting shows as GSN’s “The American Bible Challenge,” back for a third season, and TLC’s announcement that not only will its franchise, “Breaking Amish: LA,” return, but there will be a reunion event as well. Add to that list ongoing reality shows such as “Preacher’s Daughters” and the list just keeps growing.
I suspect it has just a little to do with the ratings success of Duck Dynasty, which ends each show with a prayer over a meal from the very Christian family, the Robertsons.

But maybe it's just time. Maybe the pendulum is swinging back toward, uh, something substantial.
Or maybe these movies will be trash.

Who knows? Not I.

The  ice is forming more than 60 percent faster than last year in the Arctic, slaying prophecies of cap meltdown like so many dragons. Sounds are being heard all around the world in the air.

Who knows? Not I.

For one hour this day I will be unconscious, having a back procedure done. For that one hour and that one hour alone I'm absolutely sure I won't be considering anything in terms of what comes next in ministry, in the world, in the Middle East. Though votes may come that doom us all, I'm out.
But then ....

Who knows. Especially No. 1.
