At 12:54 am today, I turned 38. In a private celebration at home cleaning, I treated myself to some Robert Ingersoll. I love me some Ingersoll! I found it interesting that despite what I was taught in seminary, few churches really hated Ingersoll or held him in infamy. In fact, he was seen as a scholarly gentleman and great conversationalist who loved to eat and debate with many prominent churchmen and religious figures of his day. His famous lecture - beautifully read by Nick Gisburne - is here for all to enjoy.

Hey, for what it's worth belatedly, happy birfday my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am celebrating it by trying to eat all these sweets with a compacted wisdom tooth. Nothing like listening to Ingersoll while cleaning the house and knowing the dentist trip is not going to be fun!
