Let's get something straight: I'm not an immigrant in the USA. I didn't immigrate there. My parents didn't immigrate there. My Grandparents didn't immigrate there. My great-great grandparents didn't immigrate there. The first Maxson arrived in the US before 1776. I'm a Native American and there's nothing going to change that.

What time is it?

What time do they mean? I understand timezones are difficult, but that simply means it is critical that great care is taken when speaking about time.

Bible Version News

From Way of Life’s Friday Church News Notes for 22 July 2018:

KING JAMES BIBLE STILL THE PREFERRED TRANSLATION IN AMERICA (Friday Church News Notes, June 22, 2018, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – The 2015 Barna State of the Bible survey found that the King James Bible remains the preferred Bible version among Americans by far. It is the preferred Bible by 39% of those surveyed. After that is the New International Version (NIV), at 13%, and the New King James (NKJV), at 10%. These numbers have remained consistent since 2012. There is a significant difference when it comes to age groups. Among Boomers (age 50-68), 43% prefer the KJV; among Gen-Xers (age 31-49), 41%; but among Millennials (age 16-30), it is 28%. Still, the King James Bible is the preferred translation among all age groups over the New International Version, which is the next favorite. This information is from “State of the Bible 2015,” www.americanbible.org/uploads/content/State_of_the_Bible_2015_report.pdf

Creative Commons and Attribution

Last week, I received an interesting email from someone asking me to change the attribution on one of the pictures I had used.

Here’s the article: http://www.maxsons.org/2014/01/17/american-culture-and-the-media
Here’s the image I used: https://www.flickr.com/photos/87735223@N02/11359245033/

All of my own images are published with a creative commons license and I’m totally for the idea that the person gets to control what happens with their stuff; however, I think it is a step too far to use that to drive traffic to a website as opposed to a simple attribution.
