• Gas on Guam (petrol -- for you Australians) went up 9¢ yesterday at all the stations on the island. Regular is now $3.919/gallon. The premium mix is $4.089/gallon. We need competition.

• Telford Work has a fine review of Roger Olson's book Reformed and Always Reforming: The Postconservative Approach to Evangelical Theology in CT. -- Link

I thought the book was a stimulating read, too. And like Work I don't like the "postconservative" label. It's confusing and for those of us with roots in Lutheran Pietism or Wesleyan Arminianism we were never conservative in the sense that Reformed orthodoxy has infused the word so how can we be POSTconservative?
