Greg Wilbur over at Kingsmeadow.com's art and culture blog has some great thoughts on men who immerse themselves in Scripture...
but then wants to be able to equivocate between miracles and magic in the very next post ....
is it just me or was it the Scriptures that said MAGIC IS BAD ?
and here
and here ....
and this too :)
I still haven't heard anyone from the "magic in Harry Potter falls under Christian Liberty" school of thought answer Doug Phillips assessment of the situation the best anyone (Hi Thomas) can come up with is the "Oh yeah well you like Tolkein and Tolkein has Magic too" defense.
Now maybe he does and maybe old Tolkein doesn't have magic in his writing, to that I say ---- WHO CARES!!!! Any presuppositionalist worth his salt will recognize that when we are talking about magic in literature,the root issue changes not - no matter who the author is!
I will give up Tolkein if I must but that does not change the sinfulness or lack thereof wrt Harry Potter.
Savy?

Random bit o coolness for the day:
the guys over at google have done it again check out google earth's illuminated continent!
(I'm glad I have broadband at work:)

I over heard Focus on the Family's radio show today and Dobson and Company was on a pretty good rant about black culture, liberals and the higglely pigglely the feds have made in New Orleans. it's worth a listen click HERE to listen. Now I don't agree with everything the good Doctor says but I think they hit the nail on the head more than once in this broadcast.
I also found Texas Public Radio's last segment on Katrina's impact on the SA area to be a startling dose of socialism after hearing the Focus broadcast but also the hurricane victim interviews made me realize how much opportunity there is for Christ's church to reach people if we are willing to live the "Strenuous Life" and come out of our bubbles a bit.
One guy livin' the life is Ken Kennedy over at Only a Servant ministries. He is teamed up with Vision Forum and is going to shift his focus from Mexico to Louisiana for the next little bit and (re)build some houses in the States.
