Standing Up for the Lord’s Day
Dan Walker is a presenter for BBC Sport and BBC Sports News. In this article he explains how and why he has always refused to work on Sundays.


Bubble Babies
Reader’s Digest looks with a skeptical eye at all of the gear being sold today to protect babies. “When your baby-goods store is selling saline-soaked, aloe-treated, grape-scented tissues designed to ‘ease’ the process of blowing your kid’s nose, it is safe to say: There is no kiddie problem too small, no discomfort too negligible, no danger too remote, that some manufacturer won’t come along and peddle a pricey product to prevent it.”


Why Gay Guys are Churchier
“A new survey of 9,000 gay, lesbian, and bisexual Americans from George Barna, a well-known evangelical pollster, showed that 70 percent of gay adults describe themselves as Christian and 60 percent say their faith is ‘very important’ in their lives. Granted, those figures are lower than the population as a whole, which register 85 and 70 percent on those rankings, respectively. But Barna, himself a Bible-believing, born-again Christian, points out that the numbers demonstrate that ‘popular stereotypes about the spiritual life of gays and lesbians are simply wrong.’”


Amazon Grab Bag Sale
Amazon has a “DVD Grab Bag” sale going on now. There are some pretty good deals available (including the set “When We Left Earth” that I’m watching and enjoying). (Obviously there’s a lot of junk there, too)
