Dilbert tempest in a teapot

Dilbert, a Comic strip I frequent from time to time due to its former relvence with a number of employers I have had over the years.  In fact it got so bad at one workplace I used to have a background on my desktop from Random Acts of Management. 

So a week or so ago I noticed his strip talking about a character called Jesus (pronounced Haysoos – as it referred to a hispanic employee).  Over the week from March 7 to 14 they developed the character into a database version of the biblical gospels.  I personally think the whole thing rather silly.

Remembering Christ and the Atonement

I watched my sacrament meeting service playing a form or spiritual tennis with my kids, which entails going from one side to the next saying… shhh, put that down, shhh, stop that, shhh.   Yet, through it all, our ward put on a meaningful presentation on Easter Sunday.  Our ward played more music and had one less speaker this Sunday which made for an inspired choice.  While I missed one speaker I did get most of the second.  Which was nice, you have to consider I was alone with six kids ranging from 9 months to almost 12.

I think adding violin music, a solo and normal hymns added a certain something to help one think clearly about Christ.  I am not sure what it is but I just felt that way today.

One of the speakers today described something of Atonement as a word.  She discussed the word At-One-Ment.  But she also brought up something else.  The original Hebrew word is Kaphar.
