Bogging

There has been much talk about the Irish Psalm book found last week in a bog that was open to Psalm 83.

Ps 83:3-4 "They are laying plans against your people, conspiring against those you cherish; they say, "Come, let us annihilate them as a nation, the name of Israel shall be remembered no more!" [my emphasis]

Verses 5, 6 "They conspire with a single mind, they conclude an alliance against you, the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites . . ."

V[erse] 8 ". . . even Assyria has joined them . . ."

Verse 18 is also telling, "Let them know that you alone bear the name of Yahweh, Most High over all the earth."

This I guess is a very old form of communication where you leave a book in a bog to prophesy for future generations. Though I have a feeling bogging never really took off and the bogosphere was never that large. Plus by the time someone’s reads your bog, you are probably already dead so there isn’t much real time interaction. A positive thing about bogging is that there is no comment spam, though it is much harder to bog while wearing pajamas. It is really hard to be a bogger since every time your try to bog you feel really bogged down.
