Happy Birthday, Johnny!

Johnny Cash would have turned 77 today.

Few musicians have had as diverse a range of music and effect as Johnny Cash. His style ranged from down home country to hymns to remakes of the likes of Trent Reznor. My impression is that much of his later music was moodier, more thoughtful, more reflective and it is his later music that I have come to really enjoy.

The Mars Hill folks have put together a video tribute to Johnny Cash and what he has to say to Christians.

This is sort of backwards but I still have hope it may someday be true.

This has nothing to do with anything usually pertaining to this site but it might make someone out there grin. It just about knocked me from my chair.

2008 Desiring God National Conference

The conference is over and the content has been posted. If you haven’t stumbled across it already, audio and video of all sessions is available online, and text notes are available for most.

I may post some thoughts later as I go through the sessions. I watched Driscoll’s talk last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was very pleased with what he presented and was stretched a bit to boot so it was an excellent talk. Earlier today we started watching Ferguson’s talk but the kids weren’t all that engaged and their noise made it hard for us to be engaged. Oh well, we will be driving to Florida in a few hours. The six hour drive there will give us time enough to work through most of the sessions.

Video Podcast

My first (and last?) sojourn into video podcasting. In the video I discuss a personal item and the issue of double predestination.

From watching the video I can see a few things I will want to do differently if I do another one of these. We shall see!
