Friday November 24, 2006

Birth: Congratulations to my friend Julian on the birth of his first child, Susannah Lynn (and thanks, Julian, for finally posting some pictures).

Du Jour: If you don’t read Josh Harris’ blog, now is a good time to start. He is in Japan and writing interesting reports on his time there. Did you know they have “women only” trains? Neither did Josh until he realized he was the only man on a particular train…

Theology: Adrian’s last Piper Friday dealt with a talk given by John Piper about Charles Simeon.

Personal: I have just about one week left until I turn thirty. Is there anything I really need to get out of the way while I’m still in my twenties?

    I do not know Carl Trueman all that well, but from what I do know of him, he is not a man who is prone to overexcitement or hyperbole. Because of that, when he does get excited about something, I am likely to pay attention.
