Man, every time I think I can’t make it it this conference, can’t afford it, or whatever, I see something that makes me stat figuring out a way to make it this year. It looks fantastic.

You familiar with Dante’s Inferno? If you’ve read it you may have wondered where you would land if it were all true. Wonder no longer my friends! What level of hell would you occupy? Take the test. I was happy to see that I would escape hell and make it into purgatory.
The Dante’s Inferno Test has sent you to Purgatory!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
| Level | Score |
|---|---|
| Purgatory (Repenting Believers) | Very High |
| Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers) | Moderate |
| Level 2 (Lustful) | Moderate |
| Level 3 (Gluttonous) | Low |
| Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious) | Very Low |
| Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy) | Low |
| Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics) | Very Low |
| Level 7 (Violent) | Low |
| Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers) | Low |
| Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous) | Very Low |

A Busy Weekend

After Jen gave birth to Madeline I took a week off to stay at home with the fam. It was a great week, and I not only needed it to rest with the family and help with our newborn, but to get ready for a very busy weekend. Today is Jen and my anniversary (the best 11 years of my life!). I am so blessed with grace upon grace to be married to Jen. She really is an excellent wife. Today is also Katherine’s 7th birthday, so it’s off to Build a Bear and other related activities. Tonight I have to run out to O’Hare and pick up Jen’s mother and sisters at the International Terminal (unless I leave them stranded choosing instead to watch an awesome UFC 84 on PPV. Decisions, decisions.) Tomorrow at church we are setting apart our Deacons and Deaconesses and have a picnic afterward. A busy weekend, but a good one. I’m kicking it off with a long run - right now.

Steve and I get a lot of grief because we talk on the phone a bit (too much?). Look, we’re on the phone talking about important stuff: ideas related to ministry and family, asking for prayer, and just checking in in general. It’s great having such a good friend here. Sometimes we leave voice-mail. Here’s Steve’s most recent message. You need a friend like this. For your edification.

Some stuff worth checking out around the web.
Tom Ascol on Truth Happens.
“This video by Linux illustrates how ideas that finally win the day go through 4 phases: 1st, they are simply ignored; 2nd, they are ridiculed; 3rd, they are strongly opposed; and 4th, they triumph.”
What makes Ben Arment cringe makes me cringe too.
I want to live in one of these. Seriously. No, really.
The great Moleskinerie blog links to my post on how I set up a Moleskine. Thanks Armand!

A new, single column, personal size ESV reference Bible. I’m getting one of these.
Strategies on bringing men back to church.
How to ruin women’s ministry.
Steve McCoy and Calvary are fasting, seeking God and strategizing.
