About blogging\u2026 I saw a post with TSK <\/a>last week, and it worried me. It stated that too much posting is not good. Well, I\u2019m guilty. Here\u2019s what I try to do when I can keep it up: first, I like to record thoughts on some biblical text (I\u2019m a Bible teacher, after all). Second, I try to have a more \u201clet\u2019s think together\u201d series going on when I can come up with an idea. Some work; some don\u2019t. Third, I\u2019m usually doing a book review for those who\u2019d like someone else to tell them what\u2019s in a book they might not be able to read. And, fourth, I like to have something light and fun and personal. I don\u2019t always get all this up, but I think I\u2019m in trouble with the TSK.
\nOur good brother up in Grand Rapids, Ted Gossard<\/a>, tells a nice story. One we can all benefit from.
\nI won\u2019t tell you where this is from, but if caring what others think of you and caring about the wrong things gets to you, then you just might need to check out J.. M\u2026\u2026 <\/a> I don\u2019t know if this dear brother knows this, but he\u2019s got the soul of an Orthodox priest, and that\u2019s a high compliment for me.
\n1. This was a big week for \u201cEmergent,\u201d or should I now call it \u201cEmergent Village.\u201d I simply couldn\u2019t manage getting up to Solomon\u2019s Porch and Minnesota for the events with my busy writing schedule this month. At any rate, glad to see Jamie Arpin-Ricci<\/a> posted about it and here\u2019s his second post<\/a>. (Tony, on that picture. Here\u2019s all I\u2019ll say: when you are 45, that picture will still be your mug shot for publicity. I\u2019ve got some that are now about 20 years old.)
\n2. Wisdom from a NT specialist who urges us all to begin thinking outside our narrow fields: Mark Goodacre.<\/a> Hope you check it out.
\n3. One of our fellow bloggers, Karen Spears Zacharias, had a nice piece in the NYT<\/a>. Good for you, Karen!
\n4. Brian McLaren<\/a> has a lengthy post about learning to live above the line. I must say that Brian does better at this than most of us.
\n5. On tattoos<\/a>. More than I thought. I learned this week that some think the word \u201cScot\u201d was originally a Scottish word for \u201ctattoo.\u201d
\n6. An excellent link to add to your blogroll: Apollos<\/a>. It has good articles on Bible and Philosophy\/Theology (the pieces on atonement are good ones to read). (HT: John Sabatino)
\n7. Good for Dan Kimball\u2019s Vintage Church.<\/a>
\n8. I\u2019m willing to bet money that I sang \u201cPuff the Magic Dragon\u201d 1000x as a 5th grader. Thanks to Peter, Paul, and Mary<\/a>. I wonder if you young emergers have even heard of that never-gonna-get-any-better song?
\n9. Len Hj\u2026. <\/a>has a nice post on post-Christendom hermeneutics.
\nSports:
\n1. Wrigley Field, this year at least, is for pitchers who seem to be having a farewell year before the fire sale. Let\u2019s see where we are: Prior and Wood on the disabled pitch: a pitching staff decimated. Derrek Lee on the DL: the heart of the order decimated. And now, Thursday, I see that Michael Barrett hurt his back. It\u2019s time for the Bears.
\n2. My apologies to all Minne-SOt-ans and Canadians from the bottom of my heart: The other day I saw the Oilers were playing the Hurricanes and I thought it was an early pre-season football game in Texas.
\n3. Here\u2019s a summary from the Chicago Tribune. Catcher gets plunked twice; Ozzie Guillen wants his pitcher to retaliate; he doesn\u2019t; pitcher sent back to minor leagues. Only in the American League does such nonsense occur.<\/strong> In the Big Leagures (=NL), pitchers bat and that means retaliation has its limits. Tribune article: Catcher A.J. Pierzynski is hit twice by Texas pitcher Vicente Padilla. Guillen pulls rookie pitcher Sean Tracey after Tracey fails to retaliate on two inside pitches to Rangers slugger Hank Blalock, who eventually grounds out. Tracey clears out his locker stall and is optioned to Triple-A Charlotte.
\n4. All I can say about Tiger Woods is that I feel bad for him all around.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
