One trend suggests that sexual mores are
looser than ever on America's college campuses. Another trend suggests the
opposite: as "Neo-Victorianism on Campus"
puts it, "Sexual liberation is having a nervous breakdown on college
campuses."

If a historic painting or drawing depicts
someone running, it's likely that the legs and arms are in the wrong
position. Even The New Yorker goofed in 2005. As this article notes,
"It turns out that artists have been drawing people running incorrectly
for thousands of years."

I found "The Surprising Problem of Too
Much Talent" to be, well, surprising. It appears that if your
group is more like soccer or basketball, too much talent is a problem. But if
it's more like baseball, it's an asset. So before deciding to recruit more
talent for your church committee, community task force, business, or
whatever, you need to decide whether your team operates more like basketball
or baseball.

There have been a lot of alarms going off
since Fox News reported that
the city of Houston demanded pastors turn over their sermons. It has
something to do with a "non-discrimination" ordinance that some
pastors are fighting. I don't pretend to understand the legal issues. But I
agree with this writer. He
believes pastors should be delighted to give their sermons to the city
council, and send "each one with a carefully written cover letter
explaining exactly how the blood of Christ redeems sinners from death and the
grave."

Who would have thought salt ponds could be so
beautiful? Maybe God, since this is a "God's eye view" so to speak.
