Morning Reading – 11/6/2007
ByhenryI read a large number of blog entries each day, and I never have time to comment on everything I’d like to. Considering how many posts I do write, this may be a good thing. One way to comment without having to write is by linking to extremely good posts, and this morning provided me…
Not Only a Father
ByhenryTim Bulkeley is trying to generate some discussion of his book Not Only a Father.

And to certain parts…
I really hate singing some of these songs in church, because I know I’m not being sincere. Sometimes I just stand there and keep quiet because I don’t like being dishonest. I’m referring mainly to the ones written in the first person, where the singer claims that he is worshipping God with his whole heart, or anything along those lines. The people who write these insincere or overly emotional songs should be shot.
