Trying to research a project I stumbled on this. Here’s the quotation that has raised my blood pressure, with links:
Or perhaps we could consult Mrs. Hope […]

It seems to me that lots of people advocate the legalization of all drugs–not just marijuana but cocaine and heroine and every other drug–without feeling at all compelled to defend those drugs as harmless. They don’t argue that injecting heroine is completely safe, let alone healthy. They simply defend the right of people to make […]

Honestly, one could make a case that the entire past year and a half was a giant trap for the Democrats.
If someone will make a bumper sticker for Palin for President ASAP, I’ll put it on my car. It’s a risk, since we might get World War III first. But Obama with Biden […]

I had no idea how to describe it, but I like what Felicia Day wrote recently:
I’ve decided to turn the phrase “stressed beyond belief” to “coping with a wealth of opportunities”.
So pray that I cope and that the wealth becomes something more tangible. Like yesterday. And that I have patience.
Share and Enjoy:

First day of school began with me still in Louisiana. I had a pulpit supply job and then the plane was late so that I had to stay overnight. Got up at 4:15 am this morning to various conflicting reports as to whether my flight was cancelled and when I needed to be […]

I was ordained in 1998. I was in seminary from 1995 to 1998. I was in the PCA as a member from 1989 onward.
I loved the PCA. I was so excited about the Reformed Faith and about the PCA as a place for it that I recommended it to friends and family. […]

This post is true and necessary and cathartic (if tragic) on so many levels, I really don’t know what to say.
But I do want to point out what I thought was her most ominous observation:
In recent conversations with a couple of my girlfriends, I expressed an extreme disinterest in Christian guys of my generation.
“I’ve pretty […]

In short: if you love GWB, you’ll love President Saakashvili. Therefore it’s no surprise John McCain is portraying the Georgians as the good guys and demanding that Russian troops leave “sovereign Georgian territory” without preconditions or delay. After all, when your chief foreign policy adviser has […]

Perhaps I should say this more plainly than I have in the past. Big-name (in the Calvinist ghetto) Reformed theologians who complain about the influence of the blogosphere on the discourse and propagation of theology are in the bowels of Tridentine thinking.
Reformed theology was never about textbooks. It was about pamphlets. It […]

1. LAW
The Apostle John writes, “Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.” And the Westminster Shorter Catechism defines sin as “any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God.” Early in my comprehension as a Reformed believer, this criteria for determining whether or not an action […]

OK, I still use my tumblog for most stuff, but I’m not satisfied doing so. I like the interface but I’m not as happy with the lack of a sidebar.
Speaking of sidebars, I’m not happy with the fact that when I tumble a video it messes up this template.
Speaking of sidebars some more, I added […]

My parents have FIOS. Which means they have fast internet. Which means I can actually watch hulu.com.
It is a wonderful thing, except for the part where I have to travel to Texas.
They also have an elliptical machine with a board fastened to it so you can watch your laptop screen while you pedal or step […]
