Not Forgotten

We've just returned from a most enjoyable visit with my wife's family in California, and I look forward to resuming regular posting... including further commentary on the unfinished tobacco and baptism threads.

I should mention, however, that while away I delved into Peter Leithart's book, The Baptized Body (http://tinyurl.com/3g9mbs), which is causing me to rethink my position on baptism a bit... Though lest my Baptist readers get too excited, this "rethinking" is more a matter of terminology than anything else (in fact "refine" might be a better word than "rethink"). But of course words (terms) are the building blocks of ideas, which invariably have consequences. So while the baptism thread will probably have to wait until I've finished the book and digested some of the arguments a bit better, rest assured that it has not been entirely forgotten.

Welcome back!

Looking forward to your further observations on baptism, I must admit I was a little worried there for a moment.

After you finish with Tobacco, can we expect posts on Acohol and Firearms?

Many of my comments on tobacco apply handily to alcohol as well, and I thought firearm apologetics were your department..?

Both topics have the potential to provide good blog fodder though, so don't be too surprised if I touch on either or both more specifically in the future.
