Evangelism: I’m proud of my sister. When she gets an idea into her head, look out! She has gotten the ladies in her neighborhood mobilized!

Humor: When the Reformed speak in tonuges. (HT: TulipGirl)

Music: Here is a song that I am quite sure will not be winning any songwriting awards. It is “Love Addict” by the band Family Force 5 (from the album Business Up Front, Party In The Back). For some reason the lyrics for this other song remind me of my family down in Atlanta.

Blogroll: Here is a blog you may wish to add to your reading list. Pulpit Live is the official blog of the Shepherd’s Fellowship.

Christians love to sing, and we have always regarded it as an essential…
