Two corrections. First, I say that one reason why John Adams went to Europe during the Revolutionary War was to keep countries from supporting Europe. I mean “England,” of course. Second, when talking about Charles Francis Adams I mention the ship, the USS Alabama. It was the CSS Alabama (Confederate States Ship).

In which I talk about The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference and the great haul of books that I returned with. First, the Desiring God/John Piper quote that temporarily escaped me is: God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. Second, I posted links to the conference speeches, but they didn’t come out as links. Best thing is to go to tgc.org and search for them. (Try TGCW18, maybe.)
