I’m sort of surprised. I took one a while back that said I had no discernible dialect whatsoever.

I am ashamed to say that I am just now posting links to the lectures given at the recent Conversation on Denominational Renewal recently given here in St. Louis at Memorial Presbyterian Church. I have to say, nothing has made me more optimistic about the future of the PCA than these lectures in years. They are wonderful. Download them. Listen to them. Be invigorated by them. The charitable spirit, ecumenical hope, and future goals are a true inspiration.

Click here and then click “who’s speaking” to access downloads of all the lectures. Unfortunately it seems that the link to the Introduction is broken. I will try to provide a corrected one soon.

Here’s a link to an article by Ann Coulter discussing Obama’s autobiographical book. I’m not a big fan of Coulter, and she’s her usual cheeky self in this review, but some of the quotes she cites are hard to ignore. I really believe Obama is a fraud and his campaign is a con. If these quotes reflect anything of his views (and I can’t see how they couldn’t) then he’s quite obviously Machiavellian in approach.

This website, True Beer has loads of great stuff, including Beer Boots.

Check out this hilarious video over at APPKA. The story of John the baptist through the eyes of a little Irish girl. Brilliant.
