Interview with Obama
Relevant has an interesting interview with Barak Obama that focuses on issues of particular importance to Christians.


Obama the Christian?
And speaking of Obama, this article from BP News collects some of the ways Obama has described the Christian faith. Things like “I believe there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.”


New Logo for Walmart
I am totally underwhelmed by Walmart’s new logo. So is everyone else, I suspect.


Optimism Growing in Iraq
An article in Spiegel of all places says “There is an unexpected air of normalcy prevailing in Baghdad these days, with consumption flourishing and confidence in the government growing.”


Where are Europe’s Babies?
Dr. Mohler pens an interesting article looking at the phenomenon of incredibly low European birthrates. He says “There are countless issues connected to these questions, but in the end, this represents a spiritual problem.”

    What Does It Mean to Be Discerning?

    Though I have heard it said of others, I have never had anyone tell me that I am a man of discerning tastes. I do not have a discerning palate or a discerning sense of style. I can, however, contentedly live without these if only I can have a discerning mind and a discerning spirit.
