Caedmon’s Call – Fans of Caedmon’s Call will want to know that there is a new album on the way…and that those who order now can download it right away.

An Admonition to Workaholics – Here’s a good word for those of us who are prone to work too hard and too long.

Chivalry Is Dead – This is not this young guy’s finest moment. “A young female Astros fan got a painful lesson in chivalry Monday night at Minute Maid Park. The woman, identified only as Sarah, was struck on the right arm by a foul ball off the bat of Chris Johnson in the fourth inning while sitting down the left-field line — a ball that she didn’t see coming because her boyfriend ducked out of the way at the last second.”

Be Discerning About Twilight – Mark Driscoll discusses Twilight and has some good things to say. He very nearly blows up as he looks at the books that are popular among young girls today.

    We Neglect it at Our Peril
