Our Irrational Fear of Flying – “Flying a 975,000-pound metal tube 6 miles off the ground at 570 mph will always carry some risk. Crashes will occasionally happen, and the grisly images of the aftermath will continue to evoke an irrational fear of flying.”

TGC 15 – If you’re into conferences, you may enjoy watching The Gospel Coalition conference as it unfolds over the next few days. The livestream gets underway at 1 PM EST.

The Transgender Agenda – This is true and alarming: “It might be sensible to recognise that the transgender agenda is causing us, among other things, to … experiment on our children in the most damaging way.”
