Question the First: If you know of a church website that does its thing really well, please let me know, either in comments or via e-mail. I am looking for sites that are attractive, with a simplicity of design, are welcoming to visitors, and also useful to long-time members.

Question the Second: C has heard us discussing the election a good bit. We have been talking to her about the various candidates, and she knows that Hillary Clinton is running against Barack Obama for the chance to compete against John McCain to be President.

Got me thinking: Do you think it is better (whatever “better” means) to tell a young child about the historic nature of Clinton’s and Obama’s candidacies? Or is it better to treat them as no big deal? On the one hand, it’s important to know where we’ve been and how far we’ve come; on the other hand, there’s something powerful about the idea of women presidential candidates and black presidential candidates just being the normal part of things.

Discuss.
