This is completely unrelated to the youth group/Christianity/etc., but I thought you might enjoy seeing a bit of my work life.

STR Place

I recently heard from Justin Taylor that Stand to Reason (a great apologetics website) has launched STR Place (strplace.org), a site for students.  It has a lot of helpful resources.  Check it out!

N.D. Wilson on why he writes

I just read an interesting quote from N.D. Wilson, author of the 100 Cupboards series, on why and how he writes.

Douglas Wilson on Twilight

I don't want to come across as "the anti-Twilight guy" (i.e. I don't want to be known just for being against it--there are far more important things around which to define oneself), but I just watched this video and thought it was a good warning:

100 Cupboards mini-review

I previously mentioned the book 100 Cupboards by N.D. Wilson.  Well, I recently finished it.

It was a good but not mind-blowingly great adventure/fantasy novel.  I might be partly prejudiced against it, though; its reading level put me off at first (the reading level is ages 9-12, according to Amazon).  However, it has some great combinations; it's warm and safe at some moments, it's tense at others, and its writing has some nice spots.  I suspect that the second and third books in this trilogy are better and that the story gets richer, scarier, and more satisfying.

Sleep!

I love it, but I hardly get enough of it!  Anyway, here are a few brief thoughts on it from the Bible.
