\"McCoy.jpg\"<\/span>
This NYTimes <\/i>article<\/a>, which I missed when it came out, really helped me understand the pragmatics of Obamacare. (HT: K)<\/p>\n

LaVonne Neff\u2019s letter to Congress<\/a>. Jarrod McKenna<\/a>, one of the Bonhoeffer Four in Australia. Brian McLaren<\/a> asks evangelical Christians to demonstrate a more civil union and discourse. Tyler Wigg-Stevenso<\/a>n urges us to remember Hiroshima accurately. LL Barkat<\/a> on the pastor as a poet.<\/p>\n

How to start a Q cafe<\/a>. \u201cThe problem with youth today<\/a>.\u201d The kingdom is day to day stuff<\/a>, like this.<\/p>\n

\"Twitter.jpg\"<\/span>Dan and Becky Kimball<\/a> on the need to read the Bible \u2014 for yourself. (Did you see Dan\u2019s story<\/a> about his church and home?) Nancy Ortberg<\/a> on how to tap into your team to create momentum now. Tom Smith<\/a> on his calling, and this entry reminds me that Tom\u2019s post is what many of the earliest \u201cweblogs\u201d were \u2014 one\u2019s journal, now open. The On Faith blog: \u201cDoes God tweet?<\/a>\u201d (HT: JM via Twitter) Ed Hird\u2019s<\/a> fascinating factoids about a well-known children\u2019s song. (HT: MrDN) Greg Carey<\/a> surveyed professors about teaching methods and how they\u2019ve changed.<\/p>\n

Axis has a blog and asked me to contribute<\/a> a monthly column. Saletan\u2019s column<\/a> on the \u201cevolution of God\u201d is informative and fair-minded. Manya Brachear\u2019s<\/a> column on why she didn\u2019t cover an extreme religious news story.<\/p>\n

A reflection by Dan Reid<\/a> about the career of Geoffrey Bromiley. Fr Rob<\/a> and his photographs of stuff he sees in his yard \u2014 always worth a daily stop. iMonk<\/a> on the Protestant, evangelical liturgy.<\/p>\n

Incredible, telling comment<\/a>: \u201cThey gave it to God; we gave it to Google.\u201d
Here\u2019s a fun story.<\/a> (HT: JM via Twitter)
Volt or Prius<\/a>?
Economics is not natural science<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fatal flaws<\/a> of blogging.<\/p>\n

One more: good review<\/a> of Jerram Barr\u2019s new book on women.<\/p>\n

1. Not sure what to say<\/a>, but it\u2019s worth the read \u2026
2. Glad to see more US support in South Africa<\/a>.
3. The future of newspapers<\/a>. (HT: OY) The future of textbooks<\/a>. The future of cars<\/a>.
4. Male violence against women<\/a>: Bob Herbert.
5. Mouse opulence<\/a>.
6. Did you see Krauthamer\u2019s theories for health care reform<\/a>? I\u2019ve heard more than one person say \u201ctort reform\u201d and, as I see it, his thesis about job-provided insurance may not be the wisest of systems. (The employed uninsured will not, from what I can tell, be helped by Krauthamer\u2019s theory.)
7. The future for statisticians<\/a>.
8. Exercise and losing weight<\/a>.
9. Escape from Dubai <\/a>\u2014 quite the story.
10. The value of a life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sports:<\/p>\n

\"Tiger.jpg\"<\/span>I\u2019m cheering for Tiger this weekend in the PGA, but last weekend brought him his 70th.<\/p>\n

There was a dust-up<\/a> about how slowly Woods and Harrington were playing, and they were warned on the 16th hole to pick it up. If they didn\u2019t, they\u2019d each be fined 5 grand (big whoop for them) and assessed a one-stroke penalty. The story is that it led Harrington to rush himself and probably contributed to his triple bogey. Golf is about rules and a rule is a rule \u2013 but we were watching a wonderful battle and it is too bad some official stuck his nose into the entertainment side of golf.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
