This weeks randomness along the Sacred Journey:
- Peter Enns’s recent chapel message at Westminster on Proverbs 3:5-7 can now be heard on the Westminster Theological Seminary website.
- For those of you who have never had the profound experience of hearing singer/songwriter Bill Mallonee live, there is an excellent collection of videos up on YouTube taken at a recent concert. Bill’s new wife Muriah backs him up on keys an vocals. Lighting is not the best, but the sound is excellent. I was thrilled to hear a shoutout to my adopted hometown of Charlottesville in Bill’s freeform intro to “Nothing Like a Train.” That song is always extra poignant in concert now, as he keeps the verse about his family, but leaves out the name of his first wife, substituting for it “all you pilgrims.” Bill continues to “bleed in public” from that “big hole in his heart” that “won’t leave him alone.” (I also enjoyed Marc Pilvinsky’s music video for Mallonee’s song “Resplendent.” Some of the imagery reminded me of videos in Sufjan Steven’s recent concert tour. BTW, backing vocals in “Resplendent” are by Emy Lou Harris.)
- A while back I expressed my disappointment with Guy Prentis Waters’s book The Federal Vision and Covenant Theology. It seemed to me to bring this already sordid debate to new lows. But when the Bonecutter casts Guy Waters as Yosemite Sam, he brilliantly and humorously says what I was trying to say, only better!
- James Jordan offers a refreshing and sane reminder of what the Westminster Confession of Faith was—and was not–intended to do.
- I was captivated by this lovely image of downtown Toronto with overlapping panels taking us from day into night. Be sure to scroll down and move your mouse over the second image! HT: wyclif
- If you’ve ever wondered what the life of a student at Westminster Theological Seminary is like, take a peek at my friend Art’s whiteboard.
- And finally, for you fellow Office fans, here’s a must have for you Christmas list:

What happened to Brenda?

Well, who knows? Though being off the celebrity radar screen has plagued Bill’s career, the one thing it has afforded him is the ability to be as private as he wants. All any of us knows is that one day he showed up on tour with “the new wife.” Anything beyond that is his business, I guess.

That Army of Dwight thing is hilarious.
