Friday Notes


Thanks to Linda N. for the HT on a fascinating article on The Death of Hell. This is well worth reading!

Also, Dennis Pragor has a good article on the impact of the California court ruling on homosexual marriage. Pragor is one of (if not the) most thoughtful commentator in the media and always intellectually challenging. Thanks to Matt C. for the HT.

June 6th is a day every American should remember: known as D-Day, it represents one of the greatest moments of the Greatest Generation. One of the oddities of life is that news reports surfaced this week about the French cutting down most of the trees where American soldiers left their carvings during the time they camped around Normandy after their heroic landing. Camp Lucky Strike it seems has been mostly leveled, eliminating the personalized memorials left by G.I.'s awaiting their next campaign. The French may forget; we should not.

Cynthia's birthday was yesterday, June 12. She, as Bob Hope used to say, is “space age”--thirty nine and holding! We celebrated by working all day at the church building, her making CDs and DVDs and me working in my study. Next week is our 39th anniversary and I'll take her out to dinner and a celebration in downtown Chicago.

Have a great Friday the 13th! Genesis 14:4 explains the Biblical significance of "13" and the superstitions of the world don't bother Bible believers! Everyday "in Christ" is a great day--one more day of grace to use for His glory.

Maranatha!
