In Embracing Grace<\/em> I suggested there are two ways to discuss \u201chuman nature,\u201d or what makes us Eikons \u2014 by comparing us to other created things (like chimps) and by seeing how we are like God. Time magazine<\/a> reports about the first.
\n
\nThis week I will be speaking to the pastoral staff at The Chapel in Cleveland, on Monday, where I will get to touch base with a former student, Jay Halley. On Saturday and Sunday Kris and I will be down in Irving, TX, where I\u2019ll be doing an event at Irving Bible Church on both Embracing Grace<\/em> (Saturday) and Jesus Creed<\/em> (Sunday services \u2014 three of them!).
\nHome-schoolers<\/a>: a new pool of potential students for college recruiters.
\n Limbo\u2019s in Limbo<\/a>.
\nPost of the week: thanks Kathy<\/a>.
\n Devastating, disgusting story<\/a> from Sanjay Gupta from Chad.
\nOur hearts go out to the Amish and their families, as well as the wife and children of the man. And we stand in awe of their forgiveness<\/a> and sacrifice<\/a>.
\n $\"amish.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\nAlongside the tragedy, the news folks are speaking now about making our schools more secure \u2014 and I\u2019ve even heard they are speaking of arming teachers. The solution the Amish would wish for our world is the banning of hand guns, and their peaceful, forgiving ways might be what Capitol Hill should observe for how to conduct ourselves in this good world of God\u2019s.
\n Mark Roberts<\/a> is now starting a good series on what is a local church. Promises to be a very good series. Hope you can keep your finger on it. Mark is one of the best bloggers around, and I don\u2019t often link to him but I do keep my eye on him and hope you do too.
\nWelcome back TSK<\/a>.
\n What\u2019s war like<\/a>? Read this new Time <\/em>magazine article.
\n1. Br. Maynard<\/a> is engaged in a conversation with Nathan about \u201cauthority.\u201d Stuff to think about.
\n2. Wendell Berry would like this decision<\/a> by some colleges.
\n3. Newest excuse <\/a>for losing the golf ball. (I got the address, but don\u2019t know how to make it work as a link:
\n4. From iPod to Zune <\/a>\u2014 once again, imitating those great Apple products.
\n5. Peter Rollins is doing a series on God and apocalyptic<\/a>. Stretches the mind, expands the heart.
\n6. IVCF has filed suit<\/a> in Wisconsin. Worth knowing about. Any thoughts?
\n7. Thanks to Millennia Media<\/a>: we\u2019ll give the money to some students at NPU.
\n8. Trusting as grace (and mercy)<\/a>.
\n9. Don Johson\u2019s posts about his daughter\u2019s theory of a good sermon<\/a> and his experience visiting jail<\/a> \u2014 good ones. OK, Don, where do you fit in her taxonomy?
\n10. Nice to see Tony\u2019s blog active again<\/a>: some good interaction on the Desiring God conference comments.
\n11. Zany link<\/a> of the week.
\n12. Growth at NPU<\/a>.
\nSports:
\nTell your kids to watch Tiger Woods, as I told mine to watch Michael Jordan. Once in a lifetime talents like Tiger \u2026 just take them in. 6 tourneys in a row.
\nI liked Dusty, but it didn\u2019t work. Sure, the Cubs had their injuries, but the Cubs make too many mistakes running bases and throwing to the right bases. Give those kids \u2014 Murton and Theriot especially \u2014 a chance. They get it; they\u2019ve got it; and they\u2019ll make it happen here in Wrigleyville, home of the Cubs.
\nOn the playoffs \u2014 here it comes. Inevitable. Bad weather. The baseball season should be 154 games and not 162 \u2014 one week earlier would make a huge difference in weather for the playoffs and World Series. Unless, of course, we could just make it that only southern teams got to play in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
