  • Julia and me

    The Obama website has a page about "The Life of Julia," supposedly a representative American woman. Over at Her.meneutics, I have a piece about why Julia is a remarkably poor representative for many of us.

  • In Celebration of a Great Editor!

    When writing, I try to keep exclamation points to a minimum, however, for this blog I might use more than one. You will forgive me the excitement when you find out that we've just celebrated Gina's 10th anniversary with the ministry.

  • Breastfeeding for 'TIME'

    I heard about the new TIME magazine cover on my way to work this morning. It's a startling picture, really: A three-year-old boy is standing on a chair suckling at his mother's breast.

    Parents, beware: Delighting in their power, these FPs will be coming to a school near you.

    Prescription for obese children: Turn off the cell phones, computers, and televisions, and go outside and play. All the exercise will help burn off those nasty extra calories, build strong bones, and so forth.

    Having caved and hit a late night showing with my wife and some old comic book afficionado friends this weekend, I have to agree with most of Zahn's assessment of Marvel's "The Avengers." I'm not particularly a fan of the genre, but as far as superhero flicks go, especially in the worldview department, this one deserves some praise.
