President Obama’s re-election campaign has tapped a 23-year-old executive assistant in the White House faith-based office to head up its outreach to religious communities.
Michael R. Wear, who has worked in the White House for the past three and half years, will move to Chicago to become the campaign’s Faith Vote director next week, White House officials confirmed on Monday.
“It has been an honor working with Michael Wear to create positive faith-based and nonprofit partnerships to serve people in need,” said Joshua DuBois, executive director of the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Wear was DuBois’ executive assistant. (CT profiled then 26-year-old DuBois in 2009)

I wanted to return to a subject I wrote about a couple of blogs ago, free will or the lack there of. Imagine my surprise to learn that some of my speculations, and that's all I meant them as, are very close to a philosophical notion called middle knowledge. The difference being that this idea supports free will, or it's supposed to, and mine did not. The idea being that God could create a world in which people had free will but only a certain number would freely chose salvation and the rest would freely chose not to be saved under any circumstance but God's grace would be extended to all.

You volunteer to do something for the environment. You ride your bike to school. Your nice to everyone. (Probably not.) Fed on a steady diet of selfdeception by the time they become teenagers they know the're pretty great. Not like that loser that no one likes.
