Well, most of this holiday has been vegging out at home. Last Thursday night was the big fireworks show about two miles away. I went and watched them from the porch of my “ultra liberal Bostonian” neighbors. I use quotes because that is how they describe themselves. Anyway more about that in a minute.
Friday, didn’t [...]

May 13th, 2008 · 3 Comments
La Shawn writes about The Body (of Christ) and asks the following question.
Christians, what, if anything, amazed or surprised you (about yourself and/or others) when you first became a believer?
I thought about changing the title of this post to something else because it is the same as La Shawn’s. But then I thought better of [...]

Schaeffer’s Manifesto: A Revolution Realized
