Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. On Wednes\u00adday I men\u00adtioned how some mod\u00adern research about speak\u00ading in tongues aligns very well with Paul\u2019s com\u00adments about tongues strength\u00aden\u00ading believ\u00aders even while their mind is unfruit\u00adful (1 Cor 14:4, 14). A read\u00adable sum\u00adma\u00adry from a few years back is A Neu\u00adro\u00adsci\u00aden\u00adtif\u00adic Look At Speak\u00ading In Tongues<\/a> (Bene\u00addict Carey, NYT) and also <\/span><\/span>Speak\u00ading in Tongues: Glos\u00adsalalia and Stress Reduc\u00adtion<\/a> (The Dana Foun\u00adda\u00adtion). If you want to see the actu\u00adal research they are allud\u00ading to, check out the uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty press release Lan\u00adguage Cen\u00adter of the Brain Is Not Under the Con\u00adtrol of Sub\u00adjects Who \u201cSpeak in Tongues\u201d<\/a> (U Penn, 2006) or the aca\u00add\u00ade\u00adm\u00adic papers Sali\u00advary Alpha-Amy\u00adlase and Cor\u00adti\u00adsol Among Pen\u00adte\u00adcostals on a Wor\u00adship and Non\u00adwor\u00adship Day<\/a> (Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Jour\u00adnal of Human Biol\u00ado\u00adgy, 2013) and Glos\u00adso\u00adlalia is asso\u00adci\u00adat\u00aded with dif\u00adfer\u00adences in bio\u00admark\u00aders of stress and arousal among Apos\u00adtolic Pen\u00adte\u00adcostals<\/a> (Reli\u00adgion, Brain and Behav\u00adior, 2012).<\/li>\n
  2. A hor\u00adri\u00adfy\u00ading look into the mind of 9\/11\u2019s mas\u00adter\u00admind, in his own words<\/a> (Marc Thiessen, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Post): Indis\u00adputably inter\u00adest\u00ading. Two caveats: you should look up the name James E. Mitchell for con\u00adtext and there are sure\u00adly those who tes\u00adti\u00adfy dif\u00adfer\u00adent\u00adly than Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Hav\u00ading said that\u2026 fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading.<\/li>\n
  3. Reli\u00adgious Lib\u00ader\u00adty Experts Stand Togeth\u00ader, on Cas\u00ades Inside Prison Walls<\/a> (Ter\u00adry Mat\u00adting\u00adly, On Reli\u00adgion): \u201cThere is space enough in our cul\u00adture to allow dif\u00adfer\u00adent peo\u00adple with dif\u00adfer\u00adent beliefs to live peace\u00adably in the same land.\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Texas elec\u00adtor who crit\u00adi\u00adcized Trump says he\u2019s resign\u00ading<\/span><\/a> (Kyle Cheney, Politi\u00adco): \u201cSince I can\u2019t in good con\u00adscience vote for Don\u00adald Trump, and yet have sin\u00adful\u00adly made a pledge that I would, the best option I see at this time is to resign my posi\u00adtion as an Elec\u00adtor\u2026. I will sleep well at night know\u00ading I nei\u00adther gave in to [the people\u2019s] demands nor caved to my con\u00advic\u00adtions. I will also mourn the loss of our repub\u00adlic.\u201d The elec\u00adtor is clear\u00adly a thought\u00adful Chris\u00adt\u00adian who made his deci\u00adsion very the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly. Read his own words about it at <\/span>Con\u00adflict\u00aded Elec\u00adtor In A Cor\u00adrupt Col\u00adlege<\/span><\/a>. Even if you dif\u00adfer with his the\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy at points, applaud his con\u00adsis\u00adten\u00adcy. Also note how much Politi\u00adco edit\u00aded out his the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal con\u00advic\u00adtions in their report\u00ading \u2014 a very com\u00admon occur\u00adrence in major media out\u00adlets.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Gays, Bias, And Pho\u00adny Sci\u00adence<\/a> (Nao\u00admi Schae\u00adfer Riley,  NY Post): \u201cIn the end, nei\u00adther LaCour nor Hatzen\u00adbuehler actu\u00adal\u00adly did the work to prove their the\u00adses \u2014 because there would be no real con\u00adse\u00adquences if they were caught, and any\u00adway acad\u00ade\u00admia writ large didn\u2019t want to \u2018catch\u2019 them at all.\u201d<\/li>\n
  6. The Under\u00adstud\u00adied Female Sex\u00adu\u00adal Preda\u00adtor<\/a> (Conor Frieder\u00addorf, The Atlantic): \u201cIn inci\u00addents of sex\u00adu\u00adal vio\u00adlence report\u00aded to the Nation\u00adal Crime Vic\u00adtim\u00adiza\u00adtion Sur\u00advey, 38 per\u00adcent of vic\u00adtims were men\u2026\u201d<\/li>\n
  7. Cheat or Go Home: Inside the \u2018Dys\u00adfunc\u00adtion\u00adal Hell\u2019 of Becom\u00ading a CFB Coach<\/span><\/a> (Matt Hayes, Bleach\u00ader Report): \u201c<\/span>Auburn offi\u00adcials have always denied it, the NCAA could nev\u00ader nail it down and the statute of lim\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtions on infrac\u00adtions has long since passed. But here\u2019s the catch: I\u2019ve seen the ledger.\u201d Even if you don\u2019t like sports, this is a worth\u00adwhile read.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
