Who Shall Be Saved?
The Presbyterians are in General Assembly this week.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports on yesterday's opening service, where
about 8,000 Presbyterians were told that the shepherd, not the sheep, will decide who is invited, protected and welcomed into the fold.
Or to quote the reading, John 10:1-16,
And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.

Riding in the Big Red Car
Sam Ruby quotes Susan Campbell, then suggests that a video player in your minivan might be a good investment. Ms. Campbell's article suggests car games. We play car games. Do your children really need to be sedated?
Deena, my wife, who prefers that I refer to her by name, spends her days with the girls. They play all sorts of word games in the car. I only get to play on the weekends. On top of the old standards like "I Spy," they play "Plurals" and "Let's Count Red Cars!" The Big Sister came up with a variation on 20 questions, "Creatures."
She says, "I'm thinking of a creature, who lives under the sea, and whose name begins with 'A.'" And then we ask yes or no questions.
