We are back in our hotel room after a long day in the second of Universal’s parks. This was an amazing day and we enjoyed it immensely, as you can probably tell from our photographs. The Hulk roller coaster towered terrifyingly above us as we entered the park. The noise was rather imposing also. I plucked up all my courage and showed real leadership (although at the time I wondered if it was stupidity!). The worst part of the ride... Read more
No. 6 on the list of most-read posts on this blog appeared on December 18, 2006, and was a summary of the highlights of my interview with Dr. Wayne Grudem, a man who is certainly a wonderful gift to the global Church!

It was great. Henry said in his diary: We’re here. I’m at the hotel and I have just been to its huge lovely swimming pool. It’s past 10, but in England it’s 3 in the morning. Tomorrow we’re going to Universal... Read more
