The Dawn Treader

I was at a neighborhood party last weekend.  It was a crisp night with a biting chill in the air.  Our gracious host had a nice backyard fire burning.  I saw Bob arrive at the party.  I knew a little about his background, and I thought I strike up a conversation to learn more.

I walked over to Bob (ok, that is not his real name).  "How's it going?", I said extending my hand.  He knew my name but that was all.

"Good to see you," he replied, shaking my hand with a firm grip.  I decided to dive in.

"So, are you going to ref hoops in the ACC again this year?"

The conversation continues... Civis, Paul and myself continue to yap about worldviews.  Grab your cup of Starbucks, kick back,  and join us...

There is a big story brewing up in Canada that few in the MSM seem to be covering.  It has to do with a campaign promise made by a leading candidate to fully pay for private schools regardless of their religious affiliation.  Shocked?  Guess what.  Ontario taxpayers already fully pay for Catholic education!  That's right.  Six hundred and fifty thousand Canadian youngsters  attend Catholic school and the taxpayers of Ontario foot the bill!  And they have been doing it that way for decades.

This was submitted by Tgirsch.   See if you can solve this one without resorting to Google.

You are in a room at the end of a long, curved hallway.  On the wall are three switches labeled A, B, and C.  All of them are turned off.  At the other end of the hallway is a room with three light bulbs labeled 1, 2, and 3.  You have to figure out which switch controls which light bulb.  You can't see the lights from the room with the switches, and you're only allowed one trip, one-way, down the hallway.  You're allowed to turn the switches on and off as many times as you'd like, and in any combination, before you leave the room with the switches.  How do you map out the lights and switches?

If you are a Dawn Treader reader, please do me a favor and go cast a vote for a full ride scholarship for a deserving young lady named Christina Nymeyer.  She is a finalist in Spirit FM's American Scholarship contest.  The student with the highest vote count gets a full ride to Liberty University.

Christina's bio is here.  She plays basketball at the school where my daughter's attend.   She is a quality person and deserving of the scholarship.  What really impresses me is her dream to be a coach.  She says in her bio, "I don't see coaching just as teaching someone how to play a game, but as preparing them to impact the world, like my coach has done for me." 

Amen to that.   I love sports and played several team sports in high school and college.  Coaches played an important role in my life.  I still remember their advice.  Christina is a quality young lady and I think her dream to impact others through coaching sports is a worthy one.

To cast your vote, click here.  Fill out the short form (it takes 10 seconds).  Click the drop down list and select Christina Nymeyer.  Then click VOTE.  You will receive an email with a link to click on to confirm your vote.  Your one minute investment could help send a deserving person to college.  Thank you.

I recently received a copy of Lee Strobel's newest book:

I will use the  Reading On The Run approach to evaluate this book.

My scan read took approximately 20 minutes.
