The Happiest Jobs – “In my article on the Ten Most Hated Jobs, there were some surprises. There are also some surprises in the 10 happiest jobs, as reported a General Social Survey by the National Organization for Research at the University of Chicago.” Isn’t it interesting what tops the list…

U.S. Financial Position – This makes it all a little easier to understand, just by removing a few 0’s.

Keller’s Answer – Tim Keller answers the concerns raised by a video he was in. “This interview from three and a half years ago was the first public event like this I had ever done, and a number of my responses were less than skillful.

The Spirit and the OT – David Murray is beginning a series of blog posts that will discuss the role of the Holy Spirit in Old Testament believers.

How Many Pages on the Internet? – A lot, apparently. “A group called the World Wide Web Foundation — appropriately founded by Tim Berners-Lee, who pretty much created the internet — is on a quest to figure out, with some degree of certainty, how big the internet really is.”
