New blog: Finking out Loud<\/a> with David Wheatley (a feeologian). You may not laugh aloud, but he\u2019ll bring you some smiles.
\nAnother new blog: Ed Gilbreath<\/a>, author of Reconciliation Blues<\/em>, has a blog that will devote itself to racial reconciliation.
\nMy short piece on the Jesus Tomb<\/a> issue.
\nNothing but a very simple, clean, encouraging story<\/a>. It might just be in the blog world that we\u2019ll get \u201cgood news\u201d instead of the sensational, grubby news we get on TV.
\nNothing but wisdom by another mom\/substitute teacher\/writer<\/a>.
\n A must-read<\/a> and a thoughtful emerging blog. (HT: Brad Boydston)
\nHave you seen \u201c That\u2019s My King<\/a>!\u201d by S.M. Lockridge. Awesome.
\nPraying the Psalms: good post by Jim Martin<\/a>.
\n On a political issue<\/a>: How are the Christians \u2014 Roman Catholic and Pentecostals \u2014 of Brazil responding to the issues arising because of the arrival of George Bush?
\nGeorgia\u2019s about to permit public schools to teach the Bible <\/a>as a course\u2026 but here\u2019s a baffling quotation made by its legal supporter: \u201cThe bill approved overwhelmingly in the Legislature was tailored to make it clear the courses would not stray into religious teaching, Williams said.\u201d
\nOn schools, which Dept uses textbooks<\/a> that cost the most? I say either the hard or social sciences. What about you?
\n1. Barna has a new study comparing Republicans and Democrats <\/a>on the \u201cGod factor\u201d.
\n2. Politicians<\/a> are facing facebook as a source for votes.
\n3. Finally, someone understands how we men are supposed to dress<\/a>. I hope Marko and Tony see this.
\n4. Pepy sent me this link on Tax Quotes<\/a>.
\n5. Dan Brennan\u2019<\/a>s good thoughts on \u201cblogfriends\u201d in a cultural critique.
\n6. Who says blogs don\u2019t have an impact? Check out this from Trevin Wax<\/a>.
\n7. I\u2019m hoping on finding one of these coins<\/a>. A fitting parable, of course.
\n8. Not sure what you think, but I like France\u2019s new \u201c happy slapping<\/a>\u201d law.
\n9. Just <\/a>what the critics of Socrates said: he\u2019s corrupting the youth.
\n10. This might be the most important post I read this week<\/a>.
\n11. Best city<\/a> in which to take a walk? Kris and I are walkers; I\u2019m trying to think of our favorite city for a walk. Our walk in Libertyville at Independence Grove has got to be near the top.
\nSports:
\nMarch Madness has arrived with the Conference tournaments. Some big upsets: UCLA and Duke. (I\u2019m hoping Ernie Kent\u2019s team, Oregon, takes the Pac-10; I played against Ernie in high school and he was a star.)
\nOne of the best competitions of the week I saw was the women\u2019s competition in none other than American Idol.
\nThe inside story will no doubt leak out soon, but the Bears have traded their #1 running back.
\n Prior and Woods<\/a> begin in the opposite direction.
\nMark it down: I\u2019m predicting that the Cubs will get to the World Series this year. It may only be the NLCS (which is<\/em> the World Series for this NL fan), but I have that feeling that this will be the Year of the Cubs.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
