Ask R.C. Live – Today at 4 PM EST, R.C. Sproul will be answering questions via Twitter. You can click the link to get more information.

The Funniest Joke – Here’s the funniest one-liner of the year: “I decided to sell my Hoover … well it was just collecting dust.” You can read the other finalists as well.
