Video: Some enterprising soul put a video camera near a bald eagle’s nest on Hornby Island, near Vancouver, British Columbia. You can watch it here. The video is very good quality, though there isn’t a whole lot going on!

Book: It seems that Girl Talk, written by Carolyn Mahaney and Nicole Mahaney Whitacre, is available in full online. It is a book that is well worth reading for mothers and daughters.

Culture: Al Mohler refers to an article in New York Magazine that asks “Why do so many adults want to look like kids?” Mohler says, “The issue of dress isn’t what’s most important — it’s the fact that adulthood is disappearing as a recognizable mark of maturity and responsibility.” Forty is the new twenty, as they say.

Emergent: For those who followed the whole ugly saga, Mark Driscoll has issued a public apology to Doug Pagitt and Brian McLaren.

I’m not the most up-to-date on the issues concerning Mark Driscoll and things emergent, but this public apology seems to me to be far less than what the Lord requires of us in seeking forgiveness. Maybe he has gone to them privately, but even if he did this still seems a bit off. Is Mark Driscoll manuevering for a complete break with emergent and full acceptance into the reformed camp? I don’t have any biases for or against any of these guys…I just want men who are claiming leadership in the body of Christ to strive for maturity and not be light about God’s commands.

“I’m not the most up-to-date on the issues concerning Mark Driscoll and things emergent…”

So when that’s the case I really shouldn’t comment! Driscoll seems pretty right-on (now that I know who he is.)
