I’m not a military strategist. I’m not a foreign policy expert. I’m sure that all of my Truly Conservative friends will just think this is a bunch of liberal hooey, but I like the hearts and minds approach this guy talks about. At one point he says something to the effect that you make a lot [...]
Woodlief is rather prolific these days. Here’s a new post on the unhappiness of parenting. I’m with Tony.
This post it totally ripped off from Justin Taylor.
Ray Ortlund:
I believe in the sovereignty of God, the Five Points of Calvinism, the Solas of the Reformation, I believe that grace precedes faith in regeneration. Theologically, I am Reformed. Sociologically, I am simply a Christian – or at least I want to be. The tricky thing [...]
In case you’ve not been able to keep up on national events, Tony Woodlief breaks it all down for us…as only Tony can.

Sarah, the Warrior Princess, turned 13 today. It is at once a great and sad day. Happy birthday, sweet girl.
This piece over at Faith and Theology is well worth the few minutes it will take to read. Insightful, I say.
