As a Baylor graduate, I was intrigued that Baylor's Board of Regents chose Ken Starr to be its next President (he started June 1, 2010).  I have written an essay for Touchstone magazine (July/August 2010), "Lone Starr: The Eyes of More Than Texas Are on Baylor's New President," in which I offer some thoughts on Baylor.  The article is not (yet) posted online, but the links above go to the Touchstone web page.  I will post the essay online next month. To those who have not read Touchstone, I would recommend it highly.

I took the opportunity to write a short piece in our local paper, The Jackson Sun, related to the current health care debate.  Tom Bohs of the Sun had taken a gentle jab at the hesitancy of local churches to support "health care reform," and I wanted to respond.  The piece can be found here: http://www.jacksonsun.com/article/20091025/OPINION/910250308/What-is-a-Christian-to-think-about-health-care? Justin Taylor posted a link on his blog, "Between Two Worlds," which is always informative:  http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/justintaylor/.  Interestingly, even Christianity Today's web site has picked up the piece.  I may do more with it, and I am open to any feedback!
