a shameless plug

I've been listening to John Piper online for almost six hours. The link on the right labeled 'John Piper' will take you to his biography on the Desiring God website (Desiring God Ministries is a christian resources company that John founded). Also on the site, under Resource Library, you can read, listen to or watch his sermons, read or listen to his narrative Advent poems, or listen to some interviews. If you click on the About Us tab, then at the bottom of that page is a News link. This is constantly, if not consistently, updated with sermon excerpts, short interviews, some church business, and other things pertaining to John or Bethlehem church. There's some good stuff there, you should check it out.

One reason I've been listening to John is because I miss my dad and John's voice is comforting (church is like a second home). Also, hearing his voice feeds/calms that adolescent crush I talked about. I wrote before that if you take away the object of an obsessee's affection it can produce the opposite effect. Listening to John online makes it easier for me to be more 'normal' (not so twitchy) when I'm around him at church.
