Thoughts on a Saturday

The Presidential campaign is in full swing. This year reminds me of 1996, when it was Clinton vs. Dole. Since I couldn’t vote for Clinton, I cast the most unenthusiastic vote of my life for Dole. I of course cannot vote for Obama, as he’s pro-choice, and that is a make or break issue for me. So, I either sit the election out, or case another unenthusiastic vote for McCain. I expect I’ll do the latter.

I like the Pickens plan, mostly because it is a plan. I completely agree with him that our primary motivation should be to stop our dependency on foreign oil. We need to do something, and do it quickly.

I’ve been listening to a series of lectures J.I. Packer gave in 1988 on the History of the Puritans . Packer is one of the world’s foremost theologians, and I’ve read several of his books. But this is the first time I’ve ever heard him lecture. Very interesting.
