Reasonable Faith: The Scientific Case for Christianity

by Dr. Jay Wile
Great, short book written by a Ph.d. in nuclear chemistry. A Christian view of the science you learned in school in just 100 pages. Also, if Evidence that Demands A Verdict is too daunting, this highlights some of that book. The last chapter also explains why so many scientists are not Christians.

Summer Fitness With My Teenager - P90X

Tony Horton of P90X
Three of the reasons why I bought the P90X Home Exercise System:

  1. It is 100 degrees outside and too hot to exercise out there.
  2. The system is not too cheesy for a teenage boy to do with his mom.
  3. I am 50 years old and need to get serious about staying healthy.
So we are doing it together!  
 I would not do this with anyone younger than 13 for at least 2 reasons:
  1.  I don't think anyone younger is supposed to work out like this, it might be detrimental to their development.  Don't know for sure though.
  2. More importantly, the conversation going on during the workout is not kid sensitive.
Who knows, maybe my homeschooler will be hitting the ball out of the park next baseball season!
