[JESUS, take Jesus with you on your beach vacation.] Besides it being the beginning of wedding season, it’s also that time when you look over the vast array of empty summer days and try to figure out what kinds of super fun things you’re going to do with them, besides just working, which is what you always do. In other words, Vacation–are you going to have one? Will you go somewhere? And, if you do go, what will you take... Read more
No podcast this morning because we talked past each other and we have to do it again. In the meantime, you can listen to my brief but awesomely fun interview with John and Kathy on The Ride Home. My segment starts around the 1:37 mark. Just a few light links today. Here is a lovely thing about Roman Baths. Didn’t know that this even happened. I wish I could have lived in this world, if only for a little while.... Read more
Seems Facebook and YouTube took down the latest undercover videos of planned parenthood. Read somewhere that it was because of a court order, although it’s hard to believe it’s not just to keep the horror entirely away from the public eye. These little videos have become a regular part of the social media landscape just like all the other violence. Depending on the day, there are always a hundred of different kinds of brutality to be upset about. This week... Read more
So there’s this bird, this small horrible bird with a beak, who comes every morning before the sun has even had time to roust himself into the sky, he comes and bashes his beak on the tree right outside my window. He’s quite punctual, and persistent. He keeps at it until 8 on the dot and then flies away. He’s making hash of the tree, not contenting himself with one hole, he just whacks his way around that whole section... Read more
As a chastisement for comparing the Holy Spirit to Mark Hamill, which wasn’t very nice, probably for either of them, the sky is shrouded in a thick covering of gray clouds, just so that we don’t get above ourselves. Anyway, it’s Friday, so Takes. One Yesterday was the last day of online class for us, by which I mean a couple of the children, but, you know, it takes the whole family to shove individual members through those last desperate...

By going to heaven, and sitting there on the right hand of the Father, Jesus wasn’t just trying to get away. Read more
It’s getting to be wedding season and now, more than ever, is a great time to consider the most important moment of your life. Last week we took a little gander at Self Marriage. Today I thought it might be nice to look at something a little more traditional–the groom is a man, check, the bride is a woman, check, the bridesmaids are all on hideous diet exercise and regimes, wait, what! “I need everyone on board,” says Barton, a...

Let the record show that while I was kneeling on the floor of Barnes and Noble, bowing my head in astonishment to find my very own book wedged between two Tim Keller tomes, wondering how on earth it came to be there, since, you know, it’s available on Amazon, I did manage to hear the voice of the woman next to me, asking me what the big deal was. I managed to scramble to my feet and explain that I... Read more
Good Morning. If that’s the sort of morning that suits you. We woke up super early because of a full throated and over exuberant bird right outside the window and took the opportunity to divulge our accumulated wisdom about baptizing children. I can’t imagine that you’d want to miss it. And now, let me see, what do I have saved up from this week. This is excellent. Yes, it’s ok for Christians to articulate Christian orthodoxy. But they should be... Read more
