Good Links

February 27, 2008

Lar,

Justin Taylor highly recommended three of these links.  The fourth is one that was sent to me via email.

First, here is a post from Al Mohler on America’s Changing Religious Landscape.

Second, here is a post from C.J. Mahaney on Andy Pettitte and confession of sin.

Third, here is a book review by Os Guinness.  I received this via email and was going to read it, but then I saw that Justin Taylor called it the best book review he has ever read, so I figured I should post it here as well.

And fourth, this is a 10-minute video from You Tube.  It’s an older story, but it is still worth checking out.  For it details America’s fiscal irresponsibility.  And that’s something every American should know and be concerned about in my opinion.  So check it out.

Enough links for now.  Catch you later brother,

Joe

    Hey Bro! We miss you in KC. Can’t you come back and revive the Knights?

    Hey, I appreciate CJ Mahaney for sure, but I disagree with his take on the Pettitte issue. To say he was a “cheater” because he used a substance that was illegal to buy without a prescription is not really the right question to ask him if you ‘re trying to gauge repentance. When he was asked if he thought he was a cheater, he was thinking in terms of taking HGH (a substance not banned by MLB at the time), not of the legality of acquiring it without a prescription. I think CJ misses this and doesn’t recognize the overall value of Pettitte’s handling of his guilt. I actually saw his testimony as pretty valuable, albeit somewhat immature, but helpful to his witness none the less. Who cares what Mike Golic says. Here’s my take on it:

    Tony!

    Great to hear from you. I am in Turkey now, so it’s a long way to travel to KC. Not to mention it might take quite a bit to revive the Knights.

    I am thankful for your post brother and am going to link to it in my next post. I didn’t realize that HGH wasn’t banned at the time. I am thinking it was highly discouraged and kept secret. That is why Pettitte felt the need to apologize I suppose. However, he did apologize and speak more candidly that virtually anyone else. We do have to give him credit for that.

    I think Mahaney was definitely holding Pettitte to a high standard. As you made mention of in your post, his place as a high profile athlete naturally leads us to want him to set the best example. Yet Mahaney uncharacteristically didn’t affirm a lot of what he actually did do.

    Love the title of your blog by the way. Just finished up reading The Chronicles. Couldn’t put them down. If I started one book, I had to finish it before the day ended. Also, I am putting you on the blogroll. I know you have plenty of good stuff to say!

    Later brother,
    Joe

    Good thoughts Joe.

    Thanks for linking my blog, I’m doing the same for yours and Seek Him ministries.

    May God bless you, your family, and overall ministry!

    In the Lamb,
