What not to do
I’ve been trying to collect funny signs that I see randomly. I saw this in Downtown Lubbock:
Why did God create us?
One answer – For His glory.
Tim Tebow
Great Sports Illustrated story on Tim Tebow. 5-minute read.
Blogging Frequency
Anyone who blogs has to struggle with how often he/she posts. If I were disciplined, I’d post 2-3 times per week. What about you?
Placebos and education
“In his new book, which I review here, Tyler Cowen writes:
‘Placebo effects can be very powerful and many supposedly effective medicines do not in fact outperform the placebo. The sorry truth is that no one has compared modern education to a placebo. What if we just gave people lots of face-to-face contact and told them they were being educated?’
He reluctantly provides the terrifying conclusion: Maybe that’s what current methods of education already consist of.”

Day of Judgement
Mark Driscoll, preaching on Justification:
“How in the world could we possibly stand before the God of the Bible and expect anything other than hell? Some say ‘I don’t know how God could send people to Hell.’ My question is how could God take anyone to heaven? That’s the mystery to me.”
A use for pennies?
I got this pic from the Freakonomics blog.
