This week is the academic annual meeting \u2014 called SBL (Society of Biblical Literature) \u2014 and Kris is going with me for the first time. It helps that we are in Washington, DC. I\u2019m giving a paper in response to Larry Hurtado\u2019s big book, Lord Jesus Christ<\/em>.
\nBlog topic of the week for me: David Fitch\u2019s insightful warnings<\/a> about what to expect from a missional, emerging church along with Erika Carney Haub\u2019s excellent musings<\/a> that missional churches also need to be caring for their own.
\nStamina blogging award goes to Michael Kruse for his excellent series on Discovering Biblical Equality<\/em><\/a>.
\nI don\u2019t think about the culture of the police; Alan Bevere<\/a> does and has some very good thoughts.
\nBy and large, kudos to the Democrats for not gloating over the election results.
\nIt\u2019s Christmas season already: we got 13 catalogs in the mail yesterday; only one of them for fountain pens<\/a>.
\nPeter Lumpkins\u2019 3d interview with Roger Olson<\/a>; again very good.
\nI can\u2019t link to Jim Martin and Mark Roberts every week, so I\u2019ll do it this way<\/a> and that way<\/a>.
\n1. No small issue: religion and science<\/a>.
\n2. The world\u2019s most corrupt countries: report from Reuters<\/a>.
\n3. Kathy Hanson\u2019s 95 Theses<\/a>. Any thoughts?
\n4. Bob Robinson<\/a> penetrates into the heart of biblical justice and righteousness; into the essence of Carl Henry\u2019s proposals<\/a>. (Good stuff, Bob.)
\n5. On eating <\/a>\u2014 or its psychology.
\n6. How to end an argument with one we love: \u201cMore than Rid-X<\/a>\u201c. (HT: Ted)
\n7. Inexplicable <\/a>in every way: we\u2019re in a war like no other, we\u2019ve got military doing things never to be done, we\u2019re trying to come up with policies for the impossible.
\n8. Trevin Wax has a three-part series must-read: a conversion from evangelicalism to Eastern Orthodoxy<\/a>, from Orthodoxy to evangelicalism<\/a>, and then his own reflections<\/a>.
\n9. Vintage Karen Spears Zecharias and her red Beamer: what a hoot<\/a>.
\n10. I\u2019m glad this debate is settled<\/a>.
\n11. The \u201cevent\u201d of the week has to have been the sentencing of Sadam Hussein to death. I confess to seeing absolutely no use to putting this tyrant to death, especially in public by hanging. Instead, give him a job in a prison where he can contribute to the poor and oppressed of Iraq.

\nSports<\/strong>:
\nI tired of Dan Dierdorf, news commentator, in his bias against the Bears. But, the Bears looked awful. I predicted 14 wins this year; I\u2019m not sure we\u2019ll get there with the next three on the East Coast (Giants, Jets, and Patriots). I keep telling myself that Grossman has only played in about 11 games; he\u2019s still young and learning.
\nAfter watching a few minutes of a Bulls game, I have to wonder again why anyone watches the NBA. 8 guys standing around and stuck on a spot; two guys playing. Everything we taught kids not to do when they played basketball. Someone tell the NBA to knock it off.
\nBear sightings: tonight, again can\u2019t mention where, we saw another Bear: Danieal Manning<\/a>. Three weeks in a row; two at the same restaurant.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
