More good reflections on John Stott’s influence on Christianity and Evangelical Christianity. Nicholas D.

Ted Nugent and David Crowder Band
The song, “We Won’t Be Quiet” off of Remedy, just played during a 2 hour randomize I had running. I’ve heard the song before, but this time the guitar really stood out and I looked into it.

Huskers and the Big 10 or Big 12
I’m deeply interested in the recent talk of Big 10 expansion and especially the involvement of my home state’s biggest university, the University of Nebraska. Everyone all over the sports internets is weighing in on what might happen. Many of them are more qualified than I to speak on what is going on (or is [...]

Remembering D-Day, 66 years ago
I know the day is passed… but I just found this photo essay from The Big Picture today. Of the 42 photos, many are classics and WWII buffs will have seen them, but many/most of the photos were new to me… including this one which captures the scope of the invasion: Click the image above [...]
