There's a time converter at http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.h...

For anyone unsure, put in USA - New York, New York to get EST.

I'm just doing this in Christian love, brother.

Nice.

Regarding worship eagles: it would be amazing to work that into the superbowl commercial or even better a fly-over at the end of the national anthem. As a side note to any churches wishing they could have their own worship eagle, we have a raptor rehab at the veterinary college where I work. Perhaps we could work out an "adoption" of sorts for the eagles we are currently nursing back to health. Convert them, as it were, from wild eagles to worship eagles.

Jon, great way to plug your book in the final breath of this post. That cracked me up. Keep pluggin'!

That is hilarious!

I'm guessing this sentence from the review stopped you in your tracks, Jon:
"It also shows that Jon does what any good humorist does: he uses humor as a path to bring people somewhere else, whether that is a place of joyful relief, a needy village in Vietnam, or to the very heart of God."
With great power comes great responsibility, right?
On a lighter note, I'm even more excited for the book now!!

Fabulous idea. I'm definitely in.

It's a close encounter with 2 fallen humans. Hopefully both have been saved by grace and filled with the Holy Spirit, but even so, they still are warring with their sin nature. Close encounter occurs in a fallen world, where the prince of darkness reigns. Like a classic love story, everything is working against them, but also like a classic love story, it is so worth the fight.

Disclaimer: this fallen human has been married to a similar fallen human (both wonderfully saved by grace!) for 11 yrs so far. It's worth it.

I bought the SCL book.

And did you know that if you pre-order on Amazon and the price lowers before the release, you'll automatically get it for the lower price? So everyone who has pre-ordered on Amazon is getting the fabulous $7 price!

I've got an irresistable craving for fish & chips now. There goes my diet. Great post.
