(Say the Jesus Creed<\/a> morning and evening during Lent.)
\n $\"niu.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\nKris and I are down in Florida, visiting with friends and speaking at 1st Presbyterian<\/a> (on Saturday late afternoon) in Naples. Monday through Wednesday I\u2019ll be out in San Diego at the National Pastor\u2019s Convention<\/a>.
\nDelegates \u2026 here\u2019s an article<\/a> that explains it.
\nIf you\u2019ve got 5 minutes for hilarity, this is one funny prank on a major league pitcher<\/a>.
\n Paper altars<\/a>.
\nTom Ward\u2019s beautiful reflections on hospitality<\/a>.
\nJim Martin on street-level faith<\/a>.
\nJohn Frye on deadly truth<\/a>.
\n New atheism<\/a>. Watch it closely and you might 8) see yours truly.
\n David Fitch\u2019s reflections<\/a> on how we package salvation.
\n A new website on science and faith<\/a> \u2014 David Vinson\u2019s site. I\u2019ve linked to it as \u201cNexus.\u201d
\nThere\u2019s an interesting conversation at Michael Kruse\u2019s blog <\/a>about Emergent. Michael, I believe, keeps things honest.
\n Erika on our bottomless pit of desires<\/a>.
\n1. Sarkozy promotes a Holocaust curriculum<\/a>.
\n2. Susan Jacoby<\/a>, who finds angles on significant subjects, is in the news for her book about American knowledge and education.
\n3. Do you get migraines<\/a>? Here\u2019s a good article \u2014 I have had a few myself.
\n4. There\u2019s got to be some theology here: legally dead vs. really dead<\/a>.
\n5. This reminds me<\/a> of that old, frolickin\u2019 Paul McCartney\/Michael Jackson video.
\n6. Cool picture:
\n $\"stars.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\n7. 6 Emerger Questions<\/a> \u2026 Nick\u2019s looking for a conversation at his site.
\n8. For true coffee lovers \u2026 Billy Kanga\u2019s Liturgy of Espresso<\/a>.
\n9. A fellow Anabaptist (Drew Moser<\/a>) with some good thoughts about election.
\n10. My list above started getting too long, so this is down here, but T\u2019s got some thoughts about orthodoxy<\/a>. Tony Jones and I will be sparring soon about the meaning of orthodoxy.
\nSports:
\n Baseball player freak injuries<\/a>; you\u2019ve got to see this one. (HT: Luke)
\nAlert: ACL injuries on the rise for children<\/a>, especially girls.
\nNCAA basketball: Illinois isn\u2019t very good; Northwestern isn\u2019t; Kris and I have turned our attention to the Lady Vols.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
