These are just a few bloggy notes.

1. Blogging will probably be as thin as usual this week, and next week there will be none at all*, not even linkage. The reason for this, as you may know, is that I will be traveling to Louisville KY for the 2008 Together for the Gospel Conference.
   • Please pray for all those who will be traveling†, for the speakers, and for all those involved in the considerable task of organizing and making it happen.
   • Pray that there will be no strife, particularly between me and this guy who called me weird, and this other guy who, on at least two occasions, hurt my feeling severely by resorting to cruel name-calling. I’m still bitter.
2. While I’m away, listen to these sermons:
   • Jonathan Moorhead’s sermon on 2 Timothy 2:1-6, A Biblical Philosophy of Missions.
   • Daniel’s sermon on Hebrews 12:1 (Part 1, Part 2). Turn the volume up. The audio is poor, but the preaching is excellent.
   There will be a test.
3. I’ve added a couple of categories to the sidebar, Shop here & Buy these. As noted at the bottom, any link marked with an asterisk is one that,if you use it, will send a few cents my way. I know such crass commercialization will offend some, but I have no apologies. First, I have never made any serious effort to make money off of this site, and I’m not starting now. I’m not linking to anything that I don’t whole-heartedly endorse (with the exception of the Amazon search box, of course). Second, if I was aggressively trying to produce revenue, I still would have no apologies. I am a committed capitalist, and do not hesitate for one moment to say that Jesus is, too. So use the links or don’t, just don’t bother me with your objections.‡
4. I might get another Calvinism post out before I go, or I might not.
