Quality interweb mischief from Jared Bridges
Michael Horton has an excellent piece (five-star, in my humble opinion) in this month’s Modern Reformation on postmodernism, and just what in the world are we to do with it. Horton writes: Postmodernism — or whatever one wishes to designate our brief moment in history — is the culture in which Sesame Street is considered … Read more
I’m not quite sure what to think of this story. If it weren’t so absurd I’d be outraged, but the absurdity factor almost makes me want to dismiss it and laugh it off. However, the subject matter in this case is pretty serious, so I will take issue with the black Baptist pastor in Louisiana … Read more
HA HA HA HA! It looks like the Florida Gators football media guide has none other than a crocodile on the front cover! What a shame and embarassment. It’s amazing that they let schools like this into the SEC…
First the Tooth Fairy, then Santa Claus, now this!
If you’re a Christian, and even if you’re not, you need to read Marvin Olasky’s piece (registration req’d) in this week’s World Magazine.

Football season is just around the corner (Tennessee’s opener is Aug 30 hosting Fresno State), and I’m thirsting for preseason buzz. But while we’re still at the “wild speculation” point of the preseason, John Adams, one of my favorite columnists, has written an excellent piece pondering what an all ex-Vol NFL team would look like. … Read more
Thanks to those of you who prayed for my grandmother over the last few days. The latest reports from Tennessee say that she is doing remarkably well in her recovery (she is still in intensive care). We’re driving down this weekend to check in on her. Once again, thanks for your continued prayers.
On a personal note, I’d like to ask all who are willing to pray for my maternal grandmother, 76, who just underwent emergency brain surgery to correct a hematoma. She’s in pretty bad condition, but she did make it through the surgery. The next 24 hours are critical, and she’s under close observation in an … Read more
