Facing<\/a> the other by Eugene Cho. JR reflects on ash tray missional work<\/a>. Karen galavanting around<\/a> with famous authors. Michael Spencer<\/a> takes on Ed Young. Kingdom<\/a> images. The 3:12:120<\/a>. Ed<\/a> and feeling uncomfortable at church, and also commenting on BJU\u2019s apology for racism, where Ed shows grace<\/a>. I wish we were there<\/a>. Clever Bob<\/a>. Tony Jones has a wonderful nostalgic reflection on Thanksgiving in Gaylord<\/a>. Nostalgia grows out of a family\u2019s development of deep traditions. Tony\u2019s post made me utter some prayers for those without families, for those whose family traditions have been torn apart, and for those who are facing tragedies, death, and unemployment.<\/p>\n

4. Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God<\/a>?
5. So you want to be a professor? As always, John Stackhouse<\/a> has some wisdom.<\/p>\n

6. A night with the homeless<\/a>.
7. The Cubs<\/a>: this is why we cheer for the Cubs.
8. Artists as entrepeneurs<\/a>.

10. Good story about Condoleeza Rice<\/a>, a woman of uncommon dignity.
11. Endowments at universities<\/a> \u2026 how to manage them? <\/p>\n

Sports:<\/p>\n
