    (The previous entry was intended as an introduction to this one, but I was sidetracked...) In his sermon, Pastor John Piper made a warning about extend irresponsible adolescence into one's thirties. And I wondered whe…

    I lost my library card a few weeks ago, so I've been avoiding the library. I've continued commuting to work, which meant that I continued to spend over five hours a week in my car, and without audiobooks. With a bit of…
