Hout Bay near Cape Town.
Memories: little Lucca, Theo and Wilma, three young African women
emerging from the waters singing from the depth of their hearts,
and a good Sauvignon Blanc with our fish.\n<\/div>\n

Must read and must see<\/a>. And with it: Redefining beauty<\/a> by Laurie Russell. A gift called change<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Jeff Borden<\/a>, at iCrucified, has a splendid review of my Fasting<\/i> book. Our friend, Jim Martin<\/a>, had his blog hacked this week \u2014 but he lost not a thing. Karen on Poe<\/a> (not the Edgar Allen kind). Mark Roberts <\/a>on your kids and the Twilight books. On education in color<\/a> by Christine Scheller. <\/p>\n

\"CrossCrowd.jpg\"<\/span>Daniel Kirk<\/a> completes a four-part series on NT ethics as shaped by the cross. Maira Kalman\u2019s newest<\/a>. Owen Youngman pointed me to a fascinating new study on Twitter<\/a>. The impact of Stan Grenz<\/a> in Australia and New Zealand. (HT: TSK) Speaking of influence \u2026 Erika got her Bible when she was 13<\/a>.\u00a0 Pete Enns and Bruce Waltke<\/a> \u2014 the debate is now complete. Katangole and the future of Africa<\/a> \u2014 a review by Andrew Perriman. Next time, buy a Mac<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ReSurgence is starting a seminary (Re:Train)<\/a>. Speaking of training, check out the report on Michael Kruse\u2019s site<\/a> about Sawa. All I have to say is Eugene<\/a> and you\u2019re know you\u2019re in for something here.<\/p>\n

The need to compromise to achieve our deeper goals \u2014 a short piece by Seth Godin<\/a>. (HT: BL) Will you be (Google) Waving<\/a>? And who can tell us about Bing.com<\/a>? How are journalists<\/a> using social media? On which blog platforms<\/a> folks are using.<\/p>\n

Andy Rowell<\/a> lists his top blogs (thanks Andy), and I agree with him on the value of the Out of Ur<\/a> blog. And here\u2019s one of my favorite blogs \u2014 iMonk <\/a>\u2014 and he\u2019s always got some big ol\u2019 conversation hoppin\u2019. Good thoughts on work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mark\u2019s getting the color of birds right<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And congratulations to Marilynne Robinson for the Orange award<\/a> (Home: A Novel<\/a>\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n

1 Jon and Kate Plus 8<\/a> deconstructed itself, and the plug needs to be pulled.
2. I\u2019m still thinking about it \u2014 about Kindle<\/a>, that is. (HT: OY)
3. Herbert on Humanity<\/a>.
4. Good one by Bob Greene<\/a> \u2014 and one for pastors and parents.
5. Sotomayer and the racist charge<\/a>. And, as always, Brooks<\/a> has a sound perception. Richard Lowry<\/a> is stronger in his protestations and Herbert<\/a> fights back.
6. The Tiller murder has drawn plenty of discussion<\/a>.
7. Obama under scrutiny for failing on promises for the gay and lesbian community<\/a>.
8. A movement that is slowing down helicopter parenting<\/a>.
9. Christian music is in recession<\/a>. Speaking of music<\/a>: \u201cthere is a growing body of clinical evidence suggesting that music can
\nplay a key role in aiding recovery or helping sufferers cope with a
\nbroad range of brain-based conditions.\u201d
10. Hello hugging<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sports:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>Its now golf season for the Midwest \u2014 school\u2019s out \u2014 and I\u2019ve not even lifted my golf bag or begun to think of when to play. I love the grasses of golf courses, the slope of greens, a well-manicured sand trap, the ever-present challenge to hit the green in regulation, and the solid click of a well-hit iron. But \u2026 <\/p>\n

Need help with your sand shot around the green<\/a>?<\/p>\n

What\u2019s with Soriano hopping when he makes a catch out in left field?<\/p>\n

And what\u2019s with those weird golf pants on John Daly? (That\u2019s good ol\u2019 Ben Hogan to your right; Daly\u2019s bright slacks are on all the golf sites.)<\/p>\n

And \u2014 for Todd Hiestand \u2014 why the hullabaloo about Danica talking about taking sports performance-enhancing substances? Is she in a sport?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
