Help me out with this hypothetical. Let’s say that I have about $60 to spend on books. Let’s also say that I can purchase the books at the lowest price listed on The Cheapest Book without the shipping added in. What books would you buy?

Having recently come to the end of Lectures To My Students I believe felt it appropriate to share one more quote from that text. I’m not going to go so far as to say the following excerpt is the best in the book but I will say it is close. I share this in the [...]

Considering my recent criticism of Pat Robertson I thought it would be best for me to make note of Pat Robertson’s “apology.” Before I do so, let me say that I really hope you take a minute to look at my Sampling Blogdom post below and check out some of the writings linked to therein. [...]

I’ve come upon another period of time where there are several good posts on the sites in my blog bookmarks. I thought I’d share them in hope that you might find them interesting as well.

- FOX News gave readers a forum to respond to Robertson’s comments and they did in droves. The most troubling reply? Here you go: “These statements by Robertson only confirm what I’ve thought all along about these religious phonies and the Right-wing hypocrites.

Luckily, I was able to talk the wife into changing her movie selection for the evening. If you don’t know about this particular movie you can read John’s [...]

If you live in TN I’m sure you have read, seen, or heard the recent news about the deaths of 3 soldiers from the 278 (TN’s largest Army National Guard unit for all you non TNers.) If not, click the link above. The soldiers rank/names were Staff Sgt. Asbury F. Hawn II, 35, of Lebanon; [...]

A word from my friend Charles: I’ve been reading Lectures To My Students by C.H. Spurgeon for sometime now (much longer than it should have taken me to finish the book). In the process I’m continually coming across quotes and passages that I think are to good not to share. Up until this point my [...]

My computer is still down but I’ve made my way to a public library for the purpose of scratching my blogging itch. Pretty sad I will admit but I had to do it. I’m not sure if I miss writing as much as I do reading. To many good posts, no way to access them. [...]
