David Johnson of the Tribune did a good job representing our conversation yesterday in his article. There was one significant detail that needs to be corrected, however. I did say that if we won our appeal, we would be looking for ways to donate a comparable amount of money. But no decision has been reached …
In the Top Three
When the elders of Christ Church made the decision to appeal the tax decision that went against us last week, we also decided that (assuming a victory on appeal) we would pursue donating a comparable amount of money for city services, etc. What’s up with that? There are a number of minor issues that relate …
Holiness Off the Bay
You thunderheads from off the bay, give glory to God. You mighty ones, give glory and strength. You black mountains of water, give glory to Him. Come to shore worshiping, in the beauty of holiness, in thunderhead holiness. The voice of the Lord is on the waters the God of glory thunders — echo …
The Boy Who Complained About the Food
Once there was a little boy who turned into a Grumble. He didn’t mean to, but he did. He never liked the food his mother would prepare for the family, so he would always fuss with it, and fuss at it. Most of the time he would say something about it, but even when he …
Noogie News
An insightful friend has written to me in order to inquire what happens when the devil gives you a noogie. Does it leave a mark? Well, now, we are starting to get into some of the deeper levels of Reformed theology here, and I am hesitant to say too much all at one time. Suffice …
How About a Law Against Erotic Retardation?

Two Cheers for Michael Horton
Also in this most recent copy of Modern Reformation is a section taking on the whole issue of classical Christian education, along with other assorted educational alternatives. The representation of our position is (generally) pretty fair, and their qualified respect for our labors in the field of education was genuinely appreciated. This was all the …
A Local Kerfluffle
As some of you all may have heard, last week Christ Church had its property tax exemption removed for Anselm House. Just a couple of comments. I have adopted a personal policy of not answering questions posed to me by the Moscow/Pullman Daily News. This does not apply to other media outlets, and is not …
Support the Gideons
As the previous post put it, I was out of town for a bit. While there, I discovered through various communications back to Moscow, that, contrary to all my naive assumptions, Lewis Carroll is not dead. But I just got in last night, and wanted to refrain from commenting on anything until I saw the …
Fourth of July
Several centuries ago, a people were oppressed by a wicked tyrant, and when they called upon the triune God, He heard their cry, and He delivered them. The tyranny they fought was the greatest military power on the face of the earth at that time, and yet they prevailed. The tales of that war were …
