I will be out of the loop after today until Monday of next week. Lorena is going to run up to the airport in Portland this afternoon to pick up the Larsons. She will drive them back down to Albany where we will get something to eat, then drive down to Saginaw to stay through the weekend for our church convention. I hope to take some photos to share while we are there. We have been waiting for this week for what seems like a long, long time. I should be back to regular posting sometime next week.

I regularly read the blog of a guy named David Heddle. He is a physics professor who writes about Intelligent Design and Christianity. I enjoy his posts on ID. His posts on Calvinism are, from my perspective, pretty legalistic in a scholarly way and not very convincing, but fun to read. That said, he spoke for me when he wrote this post about Christianity and politics.
