Good morning to you!
\n $\"good-morning.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\nKudos to Kris this week \u2014 she suggested the posts \u201cJesus Creed does Politics\u201d and the \u201cTo Scot from Scot\u201d post. What a fun week it was!
\nChicago at night.
\n $\"chicago-at-night.jpg\"$ <\/a> $\"chicago-at-night-2.jpg\"$ <\/a> $\"chicago-at-night-3.jpg\"$ <\/a> $\"lincoln.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\nAn interview with Fred Peatross and New Wineskins<\/a>.
\n My interview on Mary at Elmbrook with Mel Lawrenz<\/a>.
\n Stanley Fish\u2019s false dichotomy<\/a>: is it integrity or craft? (Or a leader with integrity who has the craft?)
\n Good story in sports<\/a>.
\n Education today<\/a> \u2026 made me think plenty. (HT: JM)
\n Did you hear this<\/a>? (HT: Mel Lawrenz)
\nAnother good item pointed out to us this week: What the church neglects, society provides<\/a>. (HT: IG)
\nDavid Fitch and I had a dustup yesterday on WMBI<\/a> about Willow Creek, David\u2019s well-known concern about seeker-models as consumerist, and the REVEAL study of Greg Hawkins and Cally Parkinson. David and I agree about much more than we disagree.
\n $\"ice_storm_02.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\n1. Good interview with Philip Pullman<\/a>, author of \u201cThe Golden Compass.\u201d
\n2. Good book review<\/a> by Patrick Allitt of Gary Wills\u2019 new book, Head and Heart<\/a> $\"\"$ , in the history of American faith.
\n3. It\u2019s not \u201cnew\u201d news, but just in case you didn\u2019t see the offiical documents<\/a> and press releases about the San Joaquin Episcopal diocese splitting from the American Episcopal Church and forming an alliance with fellow believes in South America.
\n4. It\u2019s all in the mind<\/a>.
\n5. Here\u2019s a pastor who sees it and gets it<\/a>.
\n6. Reasonable piece about Obama<\/a> and a strong piece about Giuliani<\/a>. And CT had a good report about Hillary and her faith<\/a>. And Huckabee <\/a>too.
\n7. Good report about teachers<\/a>.
\n8. Mark Roberts <\/a>is a peacemaking scholar who is grounded both in the church and academy, and this new post on the New Perspective is good.
\n9. Are you a locavore<\/a>?
\n10. How do you open those packages<\/a>?
\nSports:
\nHere it is: 100 years of losing<\/a>!
\nBut it\u2019s now over: Fukodome <\/a>is the answer.
\nWrigley, home of the 2008 World Series Champion, the Chicago Cubs\u2026
\n $\"wrigley.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\nThe season has begun for this guy:
