Wednesday February 15, 2006

Weird: NFL star and badboy Terrell Owens will be starring in a fitness-based reality show later this year. No word on whether or not said show takes place on his driveway.

Du Jour: Nathan Busenitz asks why John MacArthur would be so hard-hitting in his excellent discussion of the Emerging Church. MacArthur’s speech is well worth the hour it takes to listen to it.

Humor: Here is four minutes of your life you won’t be able to get back, but at least you’ll have laughed some. This is the animated short “Gopher Broke.”

    The Victim of a Grave Injustice

    Joseph was the victim of a grave injustice. Though he was a righteous man, he was being treated like an unrighteous one. Though he was pure, he was being treated like a convict. Though he was blameless, he was being treated like he was guilty. And there was no court of appeal, no opportunity to…
