Off to the left you see that I think that Zarafa Tutorials is one place you should check out, particularly if you have any children of writing age and you want to nurture them in creativity–which involves more than just grammatical competence. I recently had some fun looking at their first edition of The Dogberry …
Many Thanks
I am currently listening to the 70th edition of the Mars Hill Audio Journal, and it struck me how greatly indebted to Ken Myers I am. Over the years, this audio journal has been the most fruitful source of outstanding book recommendations of my experience. Give them a look if you have a moment.
Hate Crimes and Private Property
Dear visionaries, Now that some progressives have been revealed as malice and/or ignorance mongers with regard to Christian businesses, I want to add two cents on the individual rights front — because this is where a far more important issue is. This also relates to our other discussion on hate crimes — which is increasingly …
Discrimination and Puppy Victims
Dear visionaries, A leader in our town’s liberal elite doesn’t think kicking puppies is a discriminatory event? Where is PETA when you need them? Cordially, Douglas Wilson “Homophobes are people too.” Charlesmagne “Apologetics in the Void” are repostings from an on-going electronic discussion and debate I had some time ago with members of our local …
Squelching Rumors
Dear visionaries, So, someone wants to know if a Discrimination Event occurred in a local coffee emporium owned by Christians? Rumor control, aye. So then I heard that there is a special room in the basement of the admin building where the president of the University of Idaho goes every day at noon and kicks …
Burke the Progressive?
Morning, visionaries, As you may have surmised, I have no problem posting things that progressives find distressing to their tidy and very narrow worldview. And this is not that hard to do when dealing with fundamentalists who have no fundament. But I do not do it for the sake of being offensive — the point …
Reflected Glory
Dear visionaries, Don’t mean to quibble, but I wish that Linda would discontinue using that little tag at the bottom of her posts: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.” Edmund Burke For as we know, Burke was a noted conservative extremist, one opposed to the …
Expensive Bread
GRACE & PEACE “At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16: 11) Growing Dominion, Part 25 Those who are wealthy are in a position to afford various luxuries. They are also vulnerable to the temptation to not notice that they have access to these luxuries. As we have noted already, we are …
The Rudder of All Wisdom
James tells us that the one who can control his tongue can control anything (Jas. 3:2). He says in the same verse that we all offend in many ways. The clear implication is that none of us have full control of our speech-for if we did, we would not be offending in “many things” the …
Public Toplessness
Dear visionaries, In response to Erica, I was perfectly happy when we had no ordinance prohibiting toplessness. And I would be more than happy to go back there again. In fact, I would be delighted to propose that we ditch the ordinance. Will you all try to be tolerant and respectful of others this time? …
