Where Did the Money Go?
This local blog looks at the economic crisis and all the falling portfolios and asks “Where did the money go?” The short answer is…it didn’t go anywhere because it didn’t ever exist.

Mark shares some of what is new at Discerning Reader.


The NIV Bible Tour
“In may be the largest tour for a new title–a 90-city, 44-state tour called Bible Across America. That is Zondervan’s plan to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the New International Version Bible. A team of four is driving a 42-foot luxury motor home, more than 15,000-miles, criss-crossing the U.S. over the next five months.”


Interview with Donald Miller
Burnside Writer’s Collective interviews Donald Miller, asking why he has chosen to endorse Barak Obama. “He is also standing up to his own party on the issue [of abortion] and moving the party forward to elevate the issue of the sanctity of life within the Democratic Party.”


The Pornification of a Generation
From Newsweek: “In a market that sells high heels for babies and thongs for tweens, it doesn’t take a genius to see that sex, if not porn, has invaded our lives. Whether we welcome it or not, television brings it into our living rooms and the Web brings it into our bedrooms. According to a 2007 study from the University of Alberta, as many as 90 percent of boys and 70 percent of girls aged 13 to 14 have accessed sexually explicit content at least once.”

    Nick Has Been with the Lord for 5 Years

    I can’t say why it is that we place extra emphasis on anniversaries that are multiples of five. Why does five years seem more significant than six or 20 than 21? It’s a strange custom, yet one we all acknowledge and accept. And on that note, today marks the fifth anniversary of the day my…
