Some think that I have an anti-Texas bias, or that I don’t like it here.  Actually, I like nearly everything about where we live.  I agree with this article, which says that Plano is one of the ten best places in America to raise your kids. 

You can learn modern Hebrew or any number of other foreign languages on this website for free.  No, this is not a typical online language service.  These are the manuals and “tapes” from the U.S. Foreign Service Institute, written decades ago.  The programs look extensive and I’m sure you would learn a lot.  As with any language program, it takes time.  The advantage with this one, as opposed to all the others, is that you haven’t lost any money when you never get past the third lesson.

Have you seen or heard about the video that proves from the Bible that Obama is the Antichrist?  It gets all the facts wrong.

A few months ago I bought John Piper’s new Finally Alive. I haven’t read it yet, but it looks like a good study of salvation.  For a limited time, you can get the book free in Logos format.  As with many of Piper’s books, you can get it free in pdf format here.

I finally made it on the cover of BAR.  Kinda.  A friend sent me his photo, I tweaked it, and BAR chose it for their 200th anniversary issue.

    That was your photo? What an honor! If only I had someone in my circle that also got BAR that I could brag to. I need some better friends I guess.

    Danny – I just removed some haze and added some sky. The BAR caption calls them “mountains of Judah.”

    Jeff – that was my friend’s photo.
