Shocking Disparity
The growing disconnect between those who make decisions about the use of military force and those who are called upon to fulfill their decisions has been disturbing me for a while. But this fact caught me off guard.
Also: no military service among either prez/VP nominees, Scotus justices, Senate leader and (save 8 weeks) House speaker. That thought has a legacy through David Leonhardt and Sarah Wilcox.

Chi Alpha Worldwide on the Facebook
A clever Chi Alphan noticed that the Facebook now supports global groups. So they set up one titled: XA- CHI ALPHA WORLDWIDE ‑XA (I don’t know if that link will work or not — I took out the school prefix)
So Chi Alphans worldwide, unite!
My Favorite Line From My Sermon This Week
“Of course, then the witches showed up and so we didn’t get to finish our conversation.”
Richard Mouw rocks
I just finished reading Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport by Richard Mouw (president of Fuller Theological Seminary). It was great. I’ve read one other book of his, Consulting the Faithful: What Christian Intellectuals Can Learn from Popular Religion, and I loved it as well. I’d have to say he’s one of my favorite low-volume authors.
Dog the Bounty Hunter
Dog the Bounty Hunter has to be one of the most fascinating individuals I’ve ever seen on television. If you ever get a chance to watch the show, I highly recommend it.
