The R3volution Has Come!

Well, the book, that is.  I am excited to say that I received my first two copies of Ron Paul’s new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto yesterday and I am already digging in, despite having about five other books that I am required to read asap!

I will not go on and on right now.  I will only say this: You need to read this book.  I don’t care who you are or what you believe, you need to read this book. 

• If you support Dr. Paul, then read it to further support him and refine your understanding of the R3volution.  You will come away motivated and equipped to continue the struggle. 
• If you are not familiar with Dr. Paul, then you owe it to yourself to see what he is all about.  Try to lay aside your presuppositions and preconceived notions (as much as one may) and come at this fresh in order to truly understand it. 
• If you are an enemy of the R3evolution (and shame on you) then you must read this book so that your arguments are not in vain and are directed fairly and properly at what Dr. Paul believes and not what someone else says he believes (Main-Stream Media would be a perfect example).

Seriously, if I find myself in another Ron Paul debate with someone who receives his information from Faux News, CNN or the New York Times again I will….I am gonna… well, I will kindly ask them to read the primary sources and then come back and talk to me.  : )

I said I would not go on and on right now, and I won’t, though I am having to purse my lips as I write this.

Just go buy the book.

YAY!: Lakers Win! Avalanche Win! Angels Win Series Against Mariners!

BOO!: Ducks Lose.

RON PAUL IS COMING TO TOWN! Well, if you live in San Diego, that is. And fortunately, we live close enough!

The San Diego Meetup group has announced that Ron Paul will be signing his new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, at Balboa Park on Friday, May 23, at 6:00pm. An exact location has not been determined yet, but we are assured that all systems are go. Alison, I and the kids will be there in our Ron Paul duds, hootin’, hollarin’ and generally carrying on for Ron and hopefully getting our books signed and maybe even having some pictures taken. Of course, if they allow hugs, I will have to be pried away from Dr. Paul as well.

When I get more specific information, I will try to post it here.

If you have not ordered the book, get on with it! There is a link in the sidebar.

What I’m Up To

Things have been busy around the Morrow household, to say the least. And to be completely honest, I have not been all that enthusiastic about posting to the blog. I am finding that I am simply not able to do the things I really want to do at the moment, and the subsequent frustration is keeping me from doing other things that I am capable of doing (or at least trying). This being the case, we will just have to wait and see how things evolve here at BTFOG.

For now, here is what I’m up to.

Books I’m Reading:

• Four Views on Salvation in a Pluralistic Society (or something like that). Actually, I have not started reading it yet, but I have to start soon. It’s for class. Unfortunately, I am not entirely interested in the topic at the moment - or I should say, I am more interested in other topics right now. Regardless, I better dig in soon.
• Shedd’s Dogmatic Theology. A great theology, but again, for class, and I am not yet looking forward to this readings accompanying assignment. Oh well.
• Who Moved the Stone by Frank Morrison. Classic defense of the resurrection by the one-time atheist. Almost 80 years old now (the book, that is) and still kickin, I am using it as part of a larger research project. Stay tuned.
• A handful of other resurrection works.
• Family Driven Faith by Voddie Baucham. Very good book I come back to from time to time. Recommended.
• A Foreign Policy of Freedom by Ron Paul. Basically, I am just reading this again as I wait anxiously for Dr. Paul’s new book, The Revolution, to come out. Have you pre-ordered yours yet?
• A bunch of reference works.
• Mere Christianity. There are so many incredible bite-seized pieces of brilliance in that book, it should be read and reread.

Sites I am keeping an eye on:

• http://www.americanvision.org/garyblog/. While Gary and I have finally found something to disagree on (let’s just say it’s partially political) for the most part, I nearly always enjoy reading Gary’s take on things. He and his staff do a good job of coming up with new and varied yet relevant topics to post about every day or two.
• http://gobabymorrow.blogspot.com/. Yes. It’s my wife’s baby blog. Honestly, I regularly read something on there I didn’t know about. Besides that, I love to read my wife’s thoughts on just about anything.
• http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/. A good resource for the libertarian, constitutional leaning Christian. Take the time to dig through the article archives.
• http://www.diigo.com/. I finally found the tool I have been looking for. If you want the ability to make persistent notes and highlights on Web pages, have access to your bookmarks from any computer, and a ton of other things, check out Diggo. I am actually hoping to write up an entire post dedicated to Diggo in the near future. Check it out.
• Anything related to the Lakers, Angels, Ducks and Avalanche.
• A handful of other things that I don’t have time to write about now because my daughter Abby just woke up and it’s time to get fatherin’.

I had a few other things to share, but they will have to wait. Abby calls.
