At War

Guest post by Jen.

In response to the series of religion articles in this month’s Harper’s (mentioned Saturday), the National Review says

Christians are playing defense, not offense.

in the modern culture wars, Sic Semper Tyrannis complains about the

chilling attack on the Christian right

and Blogodoxy (May 13) calls the author’s comments

childish snot rockets

Have Christians forgotten that, in today’s U.S. citizenry and government, they are the majority?

The beach shack

We arrived last night at our friend’s lovingly preserved cabin. Situated on the most beautiful beach, it’s a favorite spot of mine. Guests were having sunset drinks on the porch, one an executive in a theater company ("usually the summer is slow but we have a show going up nest week") and his partner a UN peacekeeper (on John Bolton, “it’s safe to say that no one’s looking forward to it"). The weather is sunny but cool. Fresh fish on the grill for dinner…

...and the rules are: no blogging.
