Sorry Dan. I haven't posted anything of substance because I don't have too much to say. I still don't.

  • Did you know that the same country where Calvinism's TULIP acronym was thought up has the tulip as its national flower?
  • I appreciate that Dr. MacArthur's Question and Answer page has a feature that allows you to report typos. I would like it if more websites had it.
  • Saturday Dr. Mohler Tweeted that he was picking out a card for his wife, even though her birthday wasn't until Sunday. Seems strange; I wouldn't want to alert my wife (who might be reading my online material) to what I was doing in advance for her birthday.
  • I have never heard Piper use so much humour before in a message. Very interesting and engaging autobiographical talk.
  • I wonder whether people who enjoy speaking on the phone for endless hours have difficulty reading nonverbal communication.
  • If I were a postmodernist I'd never say the self-defeating statement, "There is no absolute truth." I'd say, "There is only one absolute truth."
  • I'm often surprised at how few people know this worship song. I think it's great.

I feel that one of your comments was a jab at my reading skills.

Very hurt.

Jer, after I wrote it down I started thinking of you, but I wrote it in reflection on how different I find phone conversations from personal conversations. For example, whenever Archie and I talked on the phone on project we'd be interrupting one another every minute or so, where in person, we'd read one another's facial expressions and know when the other was finished.

As for your hurt conscience, I leave you with the words of feminist Eleanor Roosevelt, "No one can make you feel inferior without your permission."

Hey Andrea. It's a good one. As for Ottawa: Soon.

Hey Peddy,
The link to the Piper thing has failed on me. Can you email me the name of the talk and where I can find it? Thanks!
