We miss Just Joeys, our bed and breakfast in Stellenbosch.
Our view of the small pool in the back garden at breakfast.
(But two weeks away did not make it easier to get back to internet reading.)\n<\/div>\n

\"JustJoeyBack*.jpg\"<\/span>We missed reading our favorite blogs, so I\u2019m way behind \u2026 here are some highlights for me this week:<\/p>\n

YSMarko<\/a> comes to its end \u2014 we enjoyed Marko\u2019s blog over the years and will miss his regular communications with us. The family myth<\/a> \u2026 and some family wisdom. Karen <\/a>is either story-telling or preaching \u2026 or both. John<\/a> is too.\u00a0 iMonk<\/a>\u2018s got it going again. Ed\u2019s crossing boundaries<\/a>. And LL Barkat<\/a> is pondering \u2026 and so is Tamara<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"Origins.jpg\"<\/span>But The Origins Project<\/a> is just beginning, and Eric Bryant<\/a> is a core leader who is asking an old, but still relevant, question. So is Dan Kimball<\/a>. The beginning of cell phones<\/a> to the completion of cell phones. Is this the sign of the end of atheism<\/a>?<\/p>\n

True truth<\/a> is under scrutiny.\u00a0 A San Diego Bible study<\/a> group is under scrutiny. Your unhappiness<\/a> is under scrutiny. Thin places under scrutiny<\/a>.

How do you discern a healthy theology from an unhealthy one? Check this post by Cobus<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The new discussion<\/a> about how to conceptualize the doctrine of Scripture, which has been played out some on this blog, revolves around not if<\/i> the Bible is authoritative, but how<\/i> that authority is to be understood and how that authority relates to our growing knowledge about texts, about history, about science, and about how the Bible as God\u2019s Word works.<\/i> Alex McManus<\/a> tells his own story in the issue of Scripture.<\/p>\n

Good ideas about coming up with blog posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Shop.jpg\"<\/span>1. Best jobs during difficult financial times<\/a>.
2. Judge Sotomayor: The NYTimes view<\/a> and the National Review view<\/a>.
3. The Mormons<\/a> are coming<\/a>!
4. Yes, indeed, bring back shop classes<\/a>.
5. Faith healing<\/a> \u2014 is it a form at times of child abuse?
6. Texting has some serious issues<\/a> \u2014 I confess the only time I \u201ctext\u201d is during Faculty Meetings.
7. Three quick points<\/a> \u2026 three goofy memories for me.
8. Good piece on happiness<\/a>.
9. Kris and I both always read Thomas Sowell <\/a>when we see his pieces.
10. Brooks-y\u2019s on a roll<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sports:<\/p>\n

Does anyone watch the NBA playoffs? (I call it 7 footers All Star Wrestling with a Ball.)<\/p>\n

It is so hard these days being a Cubs fan. I talked with a friend and I said, \u201cThe Cubs! What\u2019s going on?\u201d His response: \u201cI can\u2019t even watch them right now.\u201d <\/p>\n
