I’m a huge fan of Newsweek. A few years ago Charity called in and supported NPR for one of their fundraising drives and we received a free one year subscription to Newsweek – we’ve kept it ever since. We both love to read Newsweek – finding it informative and oftentimes approaching issues from multiple perspectives. …

Over Christmas Break Steam (hey, guys, what about an affiliate program? i should get paid for this promotion ;)) had some absolutely amazing sales on games – including some strategy war games (I mean like 80-90% off). I purchased four for around $25 total – Rome Total War, Rome Total War: Alexander, Take Command – …
Besides my beloved Newsweek for keeping up on the latest happenings in the world I generally keep an eye on the headlines on Yahoo‘s front-page. Today I saw an article detailing how Barack Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan are considering implementing longer school days/years for K-12 education. I find this to be disturbing on …

I’m going to throw my respectability to the wind – at least in the eyes of many – when I suggest that Answers in Genesis is a great resource ministry. Why would that be? Because I am thereby endorsing at least the option of youth earth creationism. Yes, that most radical of all heresies (to …
Video Gaming has become a major part of our culture. Today, whether played individually or in groups (whether locally or via the internet) gaming has become as much a part of our culture as professional sports or television. Mario and Halo among other games have established themselves as bona fide cultural icons. I’m a picky gamer. …

While the resources available to understand and practice Christianity are extensive generally, the availability and freedom with which the BSF makes its resources available …

Charity and I recently watched Traitor and thoroughly enjoyed it. Normally, I might not have picked the title up – the preview while interesting wasn’t amazing – but Don Cheadle is a huge draw for me in any film, since his amazing work with Hotel Rwanda (on the Rwandan Genocide) and his advocacy repeatedly for …
Introduction: Against Depression by Peter D. Kramer is an astonishing volume. It is not your standard work on a mental disorder – in fact, the title is both misleading and exactly on point.
