Blogspotting: My pastor thinks Josh Harris must be confused. Take a look and see if you agree.

Education: ESV Blog pointed me to Biblical Training, a site that offers online courses by a wide variety of notable Christian teachers. Looks like there is lots to learn there!

People: Snopes.com, the Urban Legend Reference site responds to an email that buzzed around the Internet claiming that Steve Irwin became a Christian shortly before his death. To this point the status of the story is “undetermined” but sadly it seems unlikely to be true.

Bible: Bible Explorer is giving away version 4.0 of their product with some Bibles and Reference books including Talking Strongs Greek and Hebrew Dictionary. They’ll be adding a new book every week including some solidly Reformed works.
