Eric Liddle — a Christian for the ages – I always enjoy reading about this great man.
There is a famous line in the movie ‘Chariots of Fire’ where Eric’s sister is arguing with him about his going to Paris instead of going instantly to the mission field in China. Eric’s response was memorable, “God has made me to be a missionary, aye, but he has made me fast, and when I run, I feel God’s pleasure”.

Gotta love this: Bio Prof: “It Is OK to Use Some Inaccuracies Temporarily” to Sell Evolution. I’m not sure whether to be happy about the candor or sad at the immorality.

Nobama stuff
Amazingly, at the same time that the Democratic National Convention was going on Obama’s camp was doing everything in their power to prevent free speech. And this is before he has been elected and has his hands on the Justice Department!
Members of Barack Obama’s campaign HQ in Chicago tried to shut down a local radio show on the City’s most powerful radio signal, WGN 720, because they didn’t like a conservative guest that was on going on the air to discuss Senator Barack Obama’s ties to local terrorist William Ayers.
Obama’s stand on illegal aliens – not surprising
Even Dukakis can’t think of any Obama accomplishments

He’s back! Shane Raynor, who used to run the Wesley Blog where quite a few of us hung out, has a new blog on United Methodist news, life and culture.
He’s here! John Lomperis, formerly with IRD and UMAction, started a new blog.

For a second I thought you said “Eric Idle”. Nudge nudge.
Please don’t take this as a shameless plug; it isn’t intended that way.
I had the opportunity to visit the prison camp where Eric Liddell died in China and posted some notes and pictures on my church website. I thought you might be interested in seeing them, too.
