After a week off, here\u2019s a new start to a year of Weekly Meanderings:
\nMoses Lee, a classmate of my son in high school, is a bright young man who wants to steward his intelligence and gifts to help world poverty. Read this <\/a>article.
\nMust read from JR Woodward on Heinz 57 Spirituality<\/a>.
\n Eugene Cho\u2019s report<\/a> on the emerging\/traditional church merger. The Seattle Post Intelligencer\u2019s article<\/a>.
\nGreat story about a great man: David Scholer<\/a>.
\nTSK weighs in on swearing<\/a>.
\n Erika <\/a>reflects on her marriage \u2014 five years ago.
\nChristopher Hitchens rails against God and religion; Peter Hitchens<\/a>, his brother, weighs in against his brother.
\nMark Lau Branson once called this <\/a>the fundamentalism of liberalism.
\nBrowse through LL Barkat\u2019s blog<\/a> and meander a little longer on her wonderful photos.
\n1. Because he\u2019s freakin\u2019 awesome<\/a>!
\n2. Do you have blogging blues? Here\u2019s a revelation of what it is like<\/a> \u2014 and if you were paid for blogging, as journalists are, then you learn to keep on plugging away and it is the plugging that does the revealing.
\n3. Farrakhan<\/a>: \u201cEven though I am a Muslim \u2014 I don\u2019t apologize for that \u2014 I\u2019m also a Christian.\u201d
\n4. There is now \u201cone priest for every 1,500 U.S. Catholics.\u201d See the article <\/a>here.
\n5. David Fitch<\/a> has a nice synopsis of postmodernity and the church \u2014 it\u2019s a bit old but I missed it when he posted this in late May.
\n6. Scott Morizot<\/a> does a series on the meaning of sin. Worth reading and thinking about.
\n7. Dan Kimball <\/a>on \u201ccore\u201d and \u201cnon-core\u201d beliefs.
\n8. Thanks Ben<\/a>, I love Billy too.
\n9. I may be doing a series on Christopher Hitchens\u2019 book, but here is the beginning of what will surely be a good one at Mark Roberts<\/a>.
\n10. When I read the review, I said to myself, \u201cThis person couldn\u2019t have read my book on Mary.\u201d Now Art Boulet<\/a> says it like it is. I thank Art, not because I think my book needs defense, but because it is important for all of us to use our critical thinking skills \u2014 not to mention some sharp writing skills on Art\u2019s part.
\nSports:
\nThat crazy Billy Martin started this nonsense, but Mgr Wellman<\/a> has taken it to a new level with his sneak upon them and throw a grenade at the ump\u2019s feet.
\nI agree: those Oregon Ducks football uniforms <\/a>are uglier than home made soap.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
