It's ID Day: New border rules in effect
Don't forget you need a passport now if you want to get in to the US.
Getting a passport in Canada is really quite easy... if you are a Canadian! We got the whole family done in a few hours total. You can download the application, then take it in to your local passport office so they check it over (saves them sending it back with a sticky note). The passports arrive by mail within 10 days or so.

Hero Worship and Holy Emulation :: Desiring God Christian Resource Library:
I have been thinking about this issue for some time now and am thankful that Piper addressed it. What his post omits though, is a consideration of whether or not the very forms and forums these celebrity pastors are using might be one of the primary contributing factors to celebritiism?
Whitefield drew enormous crowds, but there was no glamour to it. Listening to him often meant hours of arduous travel and standing in the rain. I am amazed at the expectation level we often bring to conferences, videos, etc. Maybe I am mixing up the issues though.
At the very least, I think we need to carefully consider if we find more joy in being close to some celebrity or being close to our Lord.
"Here is one small contribution. In spite of all the legitimate warnings against hero worship, I want to risk waving a flag for holy emulation—which includes realistic admiration. Hero worship means admiring someone for unholy reasons and seeing all he does as admirable (whether it’s sin or not). Holy emulation, on the other hand, sees evidences of God’s grace, and admires them for Christ’s sake, and wants to learn from them and grow in them."
