Walter Brueggemann<\/a> on the Bible\u2019s view of economics. (HT: JD)<\/p>\n

A must-read blog by Owen Youngman<\/a>.
New blogs I\u2019ve recently seen worth following: PreacherMike<\/a> and Wade Hodges<\/a>.
And Eric Bryan<\/a>t\u2019s blog is uber-cool.<\/p>\n

David Cramer <\/a>has come out as a pacifist and has a number of informed discussions. A Christian by any other name: Lisa Miller<\/a>. Dan Reid<\/a> takes on Tom Wright. An excellent meditation by Mark Wylie<\/a>. Cyber-communities with TSK<\/a>. Nice<\/a> (but only if read slowly). I can count on Eugene<\/a> to put things in perspective. Jim Martin<\/a>\u2018s breath of fresh air. (We expect to see Jim today down in Texas.)<\/p>\n

Edsel\u2019s back<\/a>. And so are the laments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh is establishing a Formation House<\/a> (Karen Sloan\u2019s involved); check it out to see if you are interested.<\/p>\n

I really liked the post and conversation at Tom Ward\u2019s FB site<\/a>, and don\u2019t know if you have to be a FB member to get to it. Anyway, read it if you can. Julie Clawson<\/a> wonders aloud \u2014 as in \u201cgrieves\u201d \u2014 about emerging Christians and how their children can be taught (think SS class curriculum) in the emerging way. Some things can\u2019t be given away<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And some things are hard to explain<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"BPkts.jpg\"<\/span>Rev! Mag<\/i> interview about The Blue Parakeet: Rethinking How You Read the Bible<\/a>\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/em>. Our Fasting: The Ancient Practices<\/a> \"\"
\n<\/strong><\/em> is going Korean with the IVP group there \u2014 but it could take more than a year.<\/p>\n

Quote of the Week<\/a>: \u201cThis is the biggest generational transfer of wealth in the history of
\nthe world. If you\u2019re an 18-year old middle-class hopeychanger, look at
\nthe way your parents and grandparents live: It\u2019s not going to be like
\nthat for you. You\u2019re going to have a smaller house, and a smaller car \u2014
\nif not a basement flat and a bus ticket. You didn\u2019t get us into this
\ncatastrophe. But you\u2019re going to be stuck with the tab, just like the
\nGermans got stuck with paying reparations for the catastrophe of the
\nFirst World War. True, the Germans were actually in the war, whereas in
\nthe current crisis you guys were just goofing around at school, dozing
\nthrough Diversity Studies and hoping to ace Anger Management class. But
\ntough. That\u2019s the way it goes.\u201d Wow, that\u2019s harsh.<\/p>\n

Weird issue of the week: cell phone bacteria<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. A machine<\/a> that transforms ingredients into a pizza in about 3 minutes. Hide the kids.
2. And I thought fishermen were liars<\/a>. (HT: TD)
3. The internet at 20 yrs old<\/a>. (HT: TD)
4. Arkansas<\/a> is discussing the wrong thing.
5. Very sad news<\/a>.
6. Funny and clever<\/a> and a good shift from the bundles of money spent on prom.
7. Volunteering<\/a>, esp by the unemployed, is up at non-profits.
8. Will you be using Kosmix<\/a>?
9. Memory<\/a> \u2026 fascinating stuff.
10. What kind of cook are you<\/a>?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sports:<\/div>\n

\"BigELew.jpg\"<\/span>The greatest rivalry I\u2019ve seen in NCAA basketball, even more than Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, was between Lew Alcindor and the Big E. How many players in this picture can you name?<\/p>\n

I would rate Jim Thorpe and Babe Didrikson Zaharias<\/a> as the top two. Michael Jordan\u2019s baseball days were anything but spectacular. Bo Jackson was better than Michael, but neither rivals Jim and Babe.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
