I just barely got a glimpse of an A1 Steak Sauce commercial, and I’m wondering if you saw what I did. A prisoner covered his name with a death row inmate’s name so he could eat a steak (the death row inmate’s final meal?) with A1 Steak Sauce. Did you see it? Say it ain’t so. Read more
From Linda. HOORAY! He was moved to special care today..his own room and no vent! It’s out in the hall! He is still getting a little O2 but is doing the rest all alone. He is much more awake and used his talking valve again today. |inline Read more
Sunday night I was invited to North Park’s Sunday evening Collegelife, a worship gathering for our students. It is student led and orchestrated, but mentored and guided by folks like Brian Wu and Rich Johnson — and probably others. |inline Read more

Summarizing a clear but still technical journal article is not easy, and so shorter here is better. David Mills, a prof at Cedarville University, asks if the critics of emergent leaders are justified in their accusation that the leaders are epistemological relativists or deniers of truth.
