I received an interesting question from a friend via email today, and I thought I would share my answer with the scroggles community.
My friend came upon a particularly interesting passage in 2 Samuel 2.16 which reads "Each caught his opponent by the head and drove his sword into his side; and thus they all fell together. Hence the place was called the Field of Sides; it is at Gibeon" (The New Jerusalem Bible). His question centered around the proper translation of the phrase חלקת הצדים chelkath hatsadim Field of Sides.
I had an interesting interaction on a friend’s blog today that led to an impromptu conversational analysis using various discourse theories. I’m including the interaction below in the off chance that someone might find it interesting.
The following poem was voiced by my four year old during her first camping trip this past week.
A friend recently emailed me asking about my thoughts on the recently released cinematic version of Beowulf. After emailing her, I thought I would share my thoughts with the Scroggles community.

Another selection of verse that I like.
a wrenching feel
when the moon sinks ‘neath the hill
too late to say you’re still
in love
