We had trouble with these yesterday, so I\u2019m posting it again today<\/em>. Kris and I will be flying next weekend to Durham, New Hampshire, to visit our niece. Lovely area to visit.
\nAll I can say about this is \u201cGood<\/a>!\u201d I once taught a course at a ministry near the Robert Taylor homes and it was not what the Great Society said it would become.
\nAll I can say about this is \u201cWay to go Rob<\/a>!\u201d Here\u2019s a reminder that \u201cordinary is OK,\u201d that it\u2019s OK to have an ordinary size church and be an ordinary pastor and an ordinary Christian.
\nAll I can about this is that Michael Kruse<\/a> has a great series on women in ministry going.
\nChristianity Today<\/em>\u2018s Top 50 Books<\/a>.
\nBob Robinson\u2019s post about how he got through his heart surgery<\/a> is splendid; Bob, bless you, for an exhibition of gritty faith.
\nJim Martin\u2019s post distinguishing manipulation and love<\/a>.
\n1. Friends of our local high school football team, which is barnstorming through the county, rented a jumbotron<\/a> for the game with our local rival \u2014 and we won.
\n2. Sad, sad story of the Russian journalist: Anna Politkovskaya<\/a>.
\n3. Dan Kimball\u2019s \u201cP\u2019s\u201d<\/a> and the Church: good read.
\n4. Drew Moser has some good thoughts on striving to live in simplicity<\/a>.
\n5. Elizabeth, over at Still Emerging, has some thoughts on names for God<\/a> and their socio-political impact.
\n6. Charlie Wear<\/a> reflects on the history of the influential Next-Wave e-zine.
\n7. Is the Reagan Era coming to an end<\/a>?
\n8. I know pastors and administrators will llike this: Steve Taylor<\/a>.
\n9. As a result of the Desiring God Conference, there is some debate about the \u201cnon-negotiables<\/a>.\u201d
\n10. Just in case you didn\u2019t read down my post about Akron, here is a pictorial<\/a> of the Kent State protest and the death of four students in 1970. The memory triggered by being there has been extremely active since Monday for me, and I hope you take it in if you get near Kent, Ohio, someday.
\nSports:
\nAll I can say about the Bears is \u201cyou heard it here first!\u201d Tim Gombis agrees. There is a competitive tenacity, and what surprises me the most is that the Bears haven\u2019t had any history to bank on in recent years.
\nWe are all saddened by the death of Cory Lidle<\/a>, Yankee pitcher. Athletes <\/a>who died in air plane crashes.
\nSpeaking of football: just glad we are not in Buffalo<\/a>.
\nTotally Random. This is what some clever business fella<\/a> thinks my blog is worth; make sure you click on that link to see what yours is worth. Wow, that made my day. I\u2019m assuming you\u2019re not taking this dollar amount seriously. (HT: David C<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\n


\nMy blog<\/a> is worth $530,667.60<\/strong>.<\/span>
\nHow much is your blog worth?<\/a><\/span>
