~ One of the local McDonald's restaurants is running a special on chocolate chip cookies -- 40 cents each OR 3 for $1.25. I wonder how much they penalize you for buying four.~ Be One, an interesting house church movement in Japan, has a new website. Some English -- mostly Japanese. Pictures transcend language.
~ Kalvin Assito, one of my preaching students, preached during worship at the Lutheran Church of Guam this morning -- did a great job. That was a first for me -- seeing one of my students preach in an actual worship setting outside of the school context. Kalvin is one of two PIBC interns in the congregation. We're so grateful to the congregation and Pastor Jeff Johnson for the way that he takes these guys under his wings.

~ Randall is right Neave Imagination is fun.
~ Radiation from cell phones interferes with bees' navigation systems, preventing them from finding their way home -- wiping out hives -- and ultimately leading to reduction in agricultural output because farmers rely on bees to pollinate their crops -- leading to economic collapse and the end of the world as we know it. More proof that mobile phones are of the devil.

my moonlighting boss, Tom [thomaspmbarnett.com/weblog], makes this point a lot, not WRT cruelty to animals but in reference to nations going to war against other nations. happens less nowadays than ever before in history.
From Peter Kreeft, Back to Virtue , p. 25:
"I do not think we are necessarily more wicked than our ancestors, overall. True, we are less courageous, less honest with ourselves, less self-disciplined, and obviously less chaste than they were. But they were more cruel, intolerant, snobbish and inhumane than we are. They were better at the hard virtues; we are better at the soft virtues. The balance is fairly even, I think."
