$\"Biltmore.jpg\"$ <\/span>We may not have the same kind of Weekly Meanderings next week, unless something goofy happens and keeps me near a computer. We\u2019ll be on Spring Break in North Carolina, beginning in Asheville, and then meandering up to southwest Virginia, hunting for life and that kind of thing.<\/p>\n

Great story about Flannery O\u2019Connor<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a story about Kris\u2019 basketball family<\/a>. It\u2019s in our blood. Kris and I often played together as little kids in the gyms where our dads coached.<\/p>\n

Jeff at iCrucified <\/a>is reading 40 Days Living the Jesus Creed<\/i> with his wife and is blogging about it. Do check out the wallpaper<\/a> he made for reciting Jesus Creed. Simple words that give life. Healing prayer<\/a> \u2014 many churches have these kinds of services. Over at Jim Martin\u2019s blog<\/a> there\u2019s a guest blog about mentoring. Mark this down as a date that matters: Eugene Cho<\/a> is wondering if he should twitter. Yo, Eugene, even this old guy tweets at times. Fr Rob<\/a> reflects on the laity-clergy distinction by talking about who does the shoveling. One of the most valuable features of blogging is having enough readers that a question can be asked that generates all kinds of answers; check out what Erika Haub\u2019s<\/a> recent post did.<\/p>\n

Our grandson, Aksel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A missional seminary by conviction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

$\"Hipster.jpg\"$ <\/span>Are you a hipster<\/a>? Here\u2019s an expert at work on a subculture. Are you overworking or underworking<\/a>? Here\u2019s another expert at work. Are you a poet<\/a>? L.L. Barkat writes and links to poetry. Are you preaching on sin during Lent<\/a>? Here\u2019s a preacher showing his cards early. Are you in need of aesthetics at your church<\/a>? Here\u2019s an expert (Martha) whose husband (Don) takes the pictures. (That\u2019s my guess.) <\/p>\n

Susan Thistlethwaite<\/a> (don\u2019t say that name fast) has a piece in the Washington Post that warns of the connection of violence against women with submission. And David Brooks<\/a> has a few warnings himself: Is Brooks The Third Way? The Englewood Review of books<\/a> is now doing podcasts.<\/p>\n

Moving on-the-ground-level piece about real life in Zimbabwe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Electronic medical records<\/a>: personally, I\u2019m all for this. It might be because I dislike filling out medical forms in the office.
2. Our internet-savvy President<\/a> and the struggles for .gov to be online.
3. Nicholas Kristof <\/a>responds to the criticisms of President Obama\u2019s health care hopes.
4. David Kahane<\/a>.
5. Googling<\/a>.
6. An interesting article on the social nature of rearing children<\/a>.
7. Rewards<\/a> in public education: What will happen if this comes to colleges and universities?
8. Muslim Eboo Patel\u2019s<\/a> honest and helpful piece on abuse of women.
9. Jonah Goldberg\u2019s sketch of Rush Limbaugh<\/a> includes an appeal to bring back Firing Line.<\/i>
10. Texas Christian professors are split on evolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n
