When Piper Touched My Chin – I thoroughly enjoyed this article from Clint Archer. “My question was a thinly veiled attempt to tease out some Piper-esque wisdom on this potentially spicy topic. He leaped over my trap with a single bound. His underwhelming answer was decaffeinated of all controversy. No passionate gesticulating, no mention of potty-mouth preaching, in short nothing to Tweet.

Why I Am/Not a Charismatic – This looks like it will be an interesting exchange (not debate) between Michael Patton and Sam Storms. Each will explain his position on charismatic theology and interact with the other person’s position.
Medal of Honor – “At a White House ceremony this afternoon, Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Petry, an Army Ranger, became only the second living recipient of the Medal of Honor for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Petry lost his right hand while throwing a live grenade away from his fellow soldiers.”

C.S. Lewis
