Duke University has this fellow coming to defend Christianity. Christianity needs no defense. We have a divorce rate that is the same as that of our society, about 47 percent, or atrocious. What gives? In some things, a defense is an indictment. The devil is probably smacking his gums like some lonely troll underneath a bridge, just waiting for the carnage that should begin to fall his way as a consequence of every renewed vigor we show in defense of the faith.
The best defense is a good offense, which for Christians is merely sacrifice, service and mercy towards others.
I up and bought me a kindle reader today, which makes me feel somehow more important than I was before. I wonder if a wide screen TV or a handphone would have the same effect. Perhaps so, but clearly less keen, it being my second fancy electronic device. The first one is special, I surmise.
My Little General, my wife and I went to NCSU today so she could monitor some classes as a part of the student teaching she needs for her university program. It was a long drive to the campus. I hope we do not have to do that again. While she was in class, I took my boy to see the North Carolina Museum of Natural History. He seemed to like it, despite some of the bigger animals being "scary" to him. Perhaps we will begin raising some poison dart frogs here before too awful long. Those littler critters are as cute as the day is long. God made a beautiful world.
Love, Nathaniel
