Today is the day that the Blue Jays’ pitchers and catchers report for their first day of training. The 2011 season is coming up fast. And I just can’t wait.

What Lincoln Meant to the Slaves – There has been near-endless research and speculation about this. An op-ed in the New York Times is worth the read.

Adultery Incorporated – Albert Mohler looks at the adultery industry and offers some useful analysis of it. Yes, there actually is such an industry.

Answers for Pastors – 9Marks has a useful feature at their web site–a section of questions and answers for pastors.

—John Calvin

    I Regret to Inform You That Heaven Tourism Is Back

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.
