Just now, on his radio show, Hugh Hewitt made the following spit-take inducing statement: “That’s why I’m repeating the first hour of this program, though I don’t often do that.”
Hugh, you know what happens to little boys who tell fibs, don’t you?
By way of Paul McCain’s Cyberbrethren blog, this incredible Bible map site. Extremely cool.
Our IT guy came to my office to replace my two side-by-side computer monitors (I use two computers at work. One’s dedicated to cataloging) with a wonderful new big-screen monitor today, plus adding a nifty switch that toggles back and forth between the two, clearing one monitor’s footprint from my desk. More room for clutter!
He told me about a woman he’d talked to recently. She’d grown disillusioned with the Very Large Lutheran Church Body That Shall Remain Nameless. She’d been involved in some sort of planned giving commitment, and she’d finally come to the end of that. She sent them a final check, in the amount of $10.00.
Someone from HQ called her and asked her what the ten buck check was for.
“I’d like you to take that ten dollars and buy a Bible with it,” she told them. “I don’t think you have one up there.”
The sad thing is, the people there at HQ probably reacted to her with a certain brand of condescending pity that I’ve seen a few times.
