No speaking events until after the New Year when I give lectures at Pepperdine University. But, I\u2019ve got plenty of radio interviews coming up on Mary. Those evening ones tire me and I\u2019m pooped \u2014 don\u2019t folks know I have a blog to maintain?! [ \ud83d\ude42 ]
\nThis is the final level of OBE<\/a> \u2014 Outcome-based education. I\u2019ve done my share of learning about outcomes and I support their significance for education.
\nA Christmas word about bloggers: humility<\/a> and wisdom<\/a>. This from a wise, young blogger.
\nHere\u2019s a blog about abuse and faith<\/a>. Bookmark it.
\nA Christmas sermon about the Magnificat \u2014 by Robert Gelinas<\/a>. Scroll down to the sermon on the Magnificat.
\nNice article about Tom Wright<\/a>. (HT: Fred)
\n1. Word of the year: \u201ctruthiness<\/a>.\u201d Humbug.
\n2. I can think of more significant gaps: IM-ing<\/a>.
\n3. Ocean Census<\/a>: \u201cthere are nearly 16,000 known species of marine fish and 70,000 kinds of marine mammals. A couple of thousand have been discovered during the census.\u201d
\n4. My son shows that Mary\u2019s dress (from the cover of my book) is beginning to make a big impact: on Slater<\/a>!
\n5. Congrats to Ken White and Huron Hills<\/a> \u2014 an evangelical church with some serious missional action \u2014 and there is lots of this going on at Huron Hills.
\n6. Trevin Wax<\/a> has a nice reflection on my favorite Christian song.
\n7. Nice thoughts on fixed hour prayer by Erika<\/a> \u2014 if I may, Erika, spirituality is offering the life we have to God and sometimes we are tempted to ask God to give us a life we don\u2019t have. Parents get up at night \u2014 and offer themselves to God in the form of our kids.
\n8. Who is next to you at work<\/a>?
\n9. Tony says he\u2019s getting old<\/a>. No, Tony, you\u2019re not getting old until the doctor says \u201cIt\u2019s probably easier for you to go home since you might not be able to handle a surgery.\u201d The insider story is that he made a sharp cut to the right and, since he hadn\u2019t done that in so long, the knee gave way. Get well brother. I\u2019ll show you my scars sometime.
\n10. Do emerging churches have doctrinal statements? The accusation that they do not is challenged by Dan Kimball<\/a>.
\n11. And while you\u2019re thinking it over, think about ending it altogether<\/a>.
\nSports:
\nNCAA basketball was on the decline this week, which is a good indication that some college presidents think it is time for students to study.
\nDa Bears.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
