\"RockwellThanks.jpg\"<\/span>Now is the time to give thanks.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
O merciful Creator, your hand is open wide to satisfy the needs of every living creature:\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Make us always thankful for your loving providence;\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
and grant that we, remembering the account that we must one day give, may be faithful stewards of your good gifts;\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever.\u00a0Amen.<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

John Frye<\/a> wonders how personal our gospel is.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

What did you think of the Manhattan Declaration<\/a>? John Stackhouse posts his view. While I\u2019m pro-life and pro-marriage etc, I can\u2019t figure out either \u201cwhy?\u201d this statement needed to made (anything new, different?) and \u201cwhat will happen next?\u201d<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Ted Gossard\u2019s blog<\/a> disappeared at Blogspot, so he\u2019s moved over to WordPress. (If anyone can help Ted, I\u2019d appreciate it.)<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

Meandering in the News<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. The RC priest\u2019s decision to ban a Kennedy<\/a> from the sacrament has one major problem: the lack of consistency on this one in the RCC. Here\u2019s a public forum<\/a>.<\/div>\n
2. Medical marijuana <\/a>developments.<\/div>\n
3. Thomas Friedman<\/a>\u2018s advice: \u201cNever cede a century to a country that censors Google.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
\"ObamaFlag.jpg\"<\/span>4. Maureen Dowd<\/a> criticizing Obama: \u201cLike Reagan, Obama is a detached loner with a strong, savvy wife. But unlike Reagan, he doesn\u2019t have the acting skills to project concern about what\u2019s happening to people.\u00a0Obama showed a flair for the theatrical during his campaign, and a talent for narrative in his memoir, but he has yet to translate those skills to governing.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
5. Charles Krauthammer <\/a>on KSM.<\/div>\n
6. A 4-page interview with\u00a0Michael Horton<\/a> \u2014 about the gospel-driven life. Not sure if you have seen this, but John Frame<\/a> has taken issue with central themes in Horton\u2019s recent proposals. I will be reviewing Michael\u2019s book about the gospel in December.<\/div>\n
7. Bad news on mortgages<\/a>.<\/div>\n
8. Boomerang adult children<\/a>.<\/div>\n
9. I am unconvinced sending more troops into Afghanistan<\/a> will stabilize that country or aid in bringing peace to the Middle East.\u00a0<\/div>\n
10. Robust coverage of the robust gospel<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Meandering in Sports<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Bears \u2026 well, they weren\u2019t awful last week against Philadelphia. Maybe a sign? I believe Cutler is talented and young and mistake-prone, but I also think he\u2019ll be a very good NFL QB. He reminds me of the young Favre.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My pick for the Super Bowl Champs? The Vikings.<\/div>\n
