Culture: Here is one from the “of course” file: Sexy Music Lyrics Prompt Teens to Have Sex. “The more teens listened to degrading sexual music content, the more likely they were to subsequently initiate intercourse and progress in [other], noncoital activity,” Martino and colleagues report. “These music effects held, even though 18 other predictors of sexual behavior were taken into account.”

Humor: Phillip Bethancourt linked to a humorous chart created by Randy Stinson, dean of the Leadership School at Southern Seminary.

Web: “Light Along The Journey” has a glowing and encouraging review of Discerning Reader. “Hundreds of reviews, well-designed site, why go anywhere else?”
