REVOLUTIONARY SUMMER
Joseph Ellis writes great books. His Pulitzer winning, Founding Brothers, is absolutely terrific.
Ellis delivers the goods in this accessible, yet scholarly book. And how many scholars can write serious books which the general reading public finds fascinating?
Like Founding Brothers, Ellis delivers another home run. Highly recommended!
MESSY BIBLES ARE BEAUTIFUL
Grant Horner teaches Renaissance literature at the Master’s College. He is a stellar teacher and terrific guy.
He came to Christ from a dark past. He was also not a good student…until becoming a Christian. This is a page out of his Bible. He believes, as I do (and my wife definitely does!) that it is good to get tactile with your reading including your Bible.
Here is Grant’s Bible reading program followed by him working his magic with a group of high school students:

BAD ART AND THE TORTURED BEAUTY OF THE CROSS
OBAMACARE IS AWESOME
I IMAGINE MANY READING MY TAGLINE WILL THINK I HAVE LOST MY MIND. PREVIOUS EVIDENCE ALREADY POINTED TO THAT POSSIBILITY, BUT I DIGRESS…
NO, I DO NOT THINK OBAMACARE IS AWESOME BECAUSE NO ONE CAN KNOW FOR SURE HOW IT WILL EXACTLY WORK. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE DEFINITIVE STATEMENTS ABOUT FUTURE REALITIES BECAUSE EVENTS BY DEFINITION OF BEING IN THE FUTURE REMAIN UNKNOWN. AS OS GUINNESS ONCE TOLD ME, “FUTURISTS MAKE BAD HISTORIANS.”
WHAT I WANT TO DO IS TEST OUR COLLECTIVE ABILITY TO APPLY CHARITY TO THE PRESIDENT’S MOTIVE BEHIND HEALTHCARE FOR ALL AMERICANS.
HERE IS MY QUESTION: WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO MAKE YOU A BIT (EVEN A TAD OR SMIDGE WILL DO) MORE WILLING TO CUT THE PRESIDENT SOME SLACK AS TO HIS MOTIVE IN WANTING TO PUSH THROUGH NEW HEALTHCARE LEGISLATION?
I HAVE MY OWN THOUGHTS, BUT WILL WAIT TO FIRST HEAR FROM YOU.
