Plodding and Productivity
Speaking of Douglas Wilson, this old post he wrote on the fruitfulness of plodding is insightful. Excerpts: I believe in plodding. Productivity is more a matter of diligent, long-distance hiking than it is one-hundred-yard dashing. Doing a little bit now is far better than hoping to do a lot on the morrow. So redeem the fifteen minute spaces. Chip away at it. For example, I have a stack of six books that I am working through most weekday mornings -- a page or two of each every time I sit down to read. I do the same thing with writing -- if you have time for a little bit, then do a little … [Read more...] about Plodding and Productivity

Collision Movie: Douglas Wilson & Christopher Hitchens
A few years ago I edited a book on which I was privileged to have Douglas Wilson as a contributor. Pastor Wilson is a smart, quick-witted fellow who really knows how to have a good, clean, honest debate. That is one reason why I so enjoyed following the dialogue he carried out with atheist intellectual Christopher Hitchens over their rival books, God Is Not Great and Letter from a Christian Citizen(although the letter was directly in response to Sam Harris). It turns out that a movie called Collision has been made about the series of joint appearances & debates that Wilson and Hitchens have … [Read more...] about Collision Movie: Douglas Wilson & Christopher Hitchens
Mike Huckabee Interviews Pro-Life Advocate Kathy Ireland
Speaking of a compelling, pro-life case, author Kathy Ireland, a former super-model and adult convert to Christianity, recently gave an outstandingly winsome pro-life apologetic on the Mike Huckabee show. One key quote: "If the unborn is not a human being, have as many abortions as you want, whenever you want, no justification is necessary. If, on the other hand, the unborn is a human being, then no justification is adequate unless another human life is at risk, that being the mother's. But then you are not acting to kill you are acting to save another life." Watch the video for the … [Read more...] about Mike Huckabee Interviews Pro-Life Advocate Kathy Ireland
