• Wednesday - WHY ??
  Isn't the Bible historically unreliable and regressive?
  - a response by Timothy Keller

  This is a great message about the Scriptures and some common objections to them. It's about 38 minutes long and worth listening to. (…)

• Listen to Theresa Dalton and Ann Strubler on
  CD Baby Website

  Last September, we had a wonderful time in a recording studio.  Theresa sang many of her original songs and Ann Strubler a dear friend and violinist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra came, adding some violin to many of those songs.   We finally have the CD in hand from those recordings.

  "I Remember Mama" was a television program that was popular when I was a child and this year I thought I would mark the first anniversary of my mother, Marion Dalton's death on December 25th, Christmas Day 2006 with some remembrances of her life. (…)

• Theresa Dalton and Ann Strubler
  these two ladies make beautiful music together

  We had a wonderful time a few weeks ago in a recording studio.  Theresa sang many of her original songs and later, Ann Strubler a dear friend and violinist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra came, adding some violin to many of those songs.   Out of that, we plan to soon have a CD of Theresa's songs available.  I think it's going to be a real gem.  She also did a traditional folk song "Shenandoah"  which we will not include on the coming CD.   
  Here is the song for you to hear.  ENJOY ! (…)

• I never read her Dracula books but her novel;
  Christ the Lord - out of Egypt
  is a worthwhile read

  This is a very interesting interview from the White Horse Inn, with Ann Rice an nationally known author and newly found woman of faith with interesting insights into the Biblical text.  She had a powerful conversion and has dedicated her writing skills to higher purpose.    In this interview she has much to say about supposed modern scholarship around the scriptural material and text.

• Rosie O'Donnell, Barbara Walters and a flashback of
  Gilda Radner's Impression of Baba Wawa

  Fun is fun, but Rosie O'Donnell isn't funny anymore.   I never was a big fan of Rosie, but she's in the news again this week with comments from her book about Barbara Walters.   She's not too flattering or complementary toward her former colleague and boss on the View; a daytime women's coffee clutch aired on ABC.  She basically is saying Barbara Walters is too old and should give up her life in broadcasting.

• Recommended Book - Treasures and Lessons
  on Pastoral Ministry from the Historic Church

  This is a must read for those in any Pastoral Ministry:
   
   
  In today's Church, there often appears to be a conflict between those who are doctrinally strong and those who "care about people." Thomas Oden does an excellent service by showing that a Christian (especially a Pastor or Pastoral Counselor) can and should use the resources of the Christian tradition as a tool of compassionate ministry.

• Peter Kreeft - Pro-Life Philosophy

  The subject of abortion in the United States is an emotionally charged one, and most often fought on the level of  platitudes and placards.  Whether pro-abortion or anti-abortion, I think we would all do well to get beyond the bumper stickers and the insulting signs, and enter into reasonable discussion regarding this personal, public and political issue.  
  Peter Kreeft does a good job of presenting a pro-life / anti-abortion philosophy with a very reasoned and thought out approach.  As a young voter (1972) I remember voting in a Michigan referendum  regarding the legalization of abortion, although Michigan citizens voted against its legalization, the Supreme Court (1973) a few months later, legalized abortion nationwide apart from wide public discourse or political consensus.  In this talk, he will discuss the ethical issues aside from religious considerations. 
  I think listening to this presentation would be time well spent.

• Ruth Bell Graham - 1920 - 2007
  a wonderful wife, mother
  and disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ

  Please checkout this lovely link from the Graham Ministry in tribute to Ruth Bell Graham:  http://www.billygraham.org/RBG_default.asp   
  I recently read Billy Graham's autobiography titled; Just As I Am and found it very inspiring.  It was interesting reading the history of both the family and the ministry.  They made great impact as they focused on large metropolitan areas.  I love  their commitment to working with various parts of the Christian community and truly being an agent for unity in the body of Christ.  Although with such a public persona, it would be easy to see Billy Graham as a national superstar all by himself, that just wasn't the case.    Billy Graham was definitely a team player, which can easily be demonstrated through the longevity of those that worked with him throughout the organization.   I recently put up a post (July 12) with a message from Don Basham, on the importance of being number two, it's hard to overestimate the importance of those who put aside their ego and serve alongside others.  
  On the family front that certainly describes a godly wife, mother and disciple such as Ruth Graham.  She had plans of her after Wheaton College to serve as a missionary in Asia, and struggled  to lay down that vision and plan and instead marry a young preacher by the name of Billy Graham.   Thank you, Ruth for being Christ's servant and such an example in the body of Christ.
