Gentlemen, Thank you for agreeing to participate as a judge in our Psalm-Off contest. Below are links to the various entries. The last one (Ps. 124) is from me, and not to be considered as an entry. It is included here for your listening pleasure alone. With all the others, please rate each song according …
Intergalactic Reptiles Had Nothing to Do With It
About three years ago I wrote an article entitled “Who You Gonna Believe? Me or Your Lying Eyes?” The article addressed the hyper-ness of all “connect-the-dots” conspiratorial thinking, along with my impression (I used the phrase “it seems plain to me”) that the New York 911 skyscrapers had been brought down by some form of …
A Trip to Tuscaloosa
If any of you are free in the Tuscaloosa area this weekend, Nancy and I will be there for a few days. More information is available here.
More on Motherhood
A number of weeks ago, my daughter Rachel wrote something on “motherhood as mission” for the Desiring God blog that generated a significant response. She has a follow-up post on a similar topic that just went up this morning. You can check it out here.
My Old Friend, Controversy
Inside Higher Ed has published a fair-minded piece on the resurgence of classical Christian education at the college level, which you can read more about here. Since New St. Andrews is featured prominently in that piece, and since NSA has among its founders a controversial figure (three guesses), and a portion of the article was …
Too Many Hypocrites in the Halls of Reason
This is why I could never become an atheist or part of the skeptic community. Too many factions, divisions, snarls, petty fights, and so on. Worshipping the goddess Reason, they descend into frenzies of irrationality at the slightest provocation. I am tempted to say of them what Chesterton once observed about the enlightened ones at …
Always Stay Current . . .
Here are a couple of quick details for the Grace Agenda. The first is that if you scroll down to the bottom of this link, you will notice the pre-conference women’s event called Dangerous Women. We wanted you to know that we have added child care for that event. And the second detail is that …
Jitney Dictators of Glorified Shantytowns
You may have heard about the kerfluffle related to Paul Ryan, budget cutter man, eating out with a couple of his friends at an upscale restaurant. He was espied by an inebriated leftie, who took him to task for the price of the bottles of wine they had (over three hundred clams a bottle), and …
Pick-Up Trucks With American Flags on Them
Most people only know half of Stephen Decatur’s famous toast — “my country, right or wrong.” But the whole thing was much more admirable. “My country, may she always be right. But my country, right or wrong.” The abbreviated version makes it sound like national interest is the only standard that a full-tilt patriot would …
Tying On Some Extra Musical Cans
I have three reminders or announcements here, all musically related. First, we continue to be grateful for the blessing that the Benefit Concert was to Logos School, and the opportunity has now come for us to tie another couple of cans onto that bumper. The CDs and DVDs of that event are now available here …
