\"ChicChristTree.jpg\"<\/span><\/p>\n

A must-read<\/a> on the rising surge against Islam by Bob Smietana.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A must-read<\/a> on science and faith by Tim Stafford (HT: AC).<\/div>\n
A must-watch<\/a> documentary?<\/div>\n
A must-read<\/a> on Lesslie Newbigin.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A new kind of Periodic Table<\/a>.<\/div>\n
A new kind of Purim: Messianic Judaism and Hanukkah<\/a>.<\/div>\n
A new kind of awareness to academic realities<\/a>.<\/div>\n
Facebook<\/a> is like the pacman gremlin gobbling away the numbers.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Preacher in the hands of an angry church<\/a>.<\/div>\n
Editor in the hands of a reading audience<\/a>.<\/div>\n
Fictional pastors in the hands of a reader<\/a>.<\/div>\n
Books in the hand of a good judge<\/a>.<\/div>\n
Church billboards in the hands of a radical.<\/a><\/div>\n
Your job in the hands of Bradley Moore<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Meandering in the News<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"MoonChic.jpg\"<\/span>1. Perhaps the most depressing article I read all week<\/a>.<\/div>\n
2. \u201cClimate-gate<\/a>\u201d and\u00a0George Will\u00a0<\/a>weighs in on the controversy too.<\/div>\n
3. On jobs and the need for that \u201cvast, chaotic entrepreneurial churn\u201d: Rich Lowry<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n
4. Second City<\/a>: 50 years old.<\/div>\n
5. John Mark Reynolds<\/a> says the Swiss minarets issue is small potatoes compared to the real issues \u2014 and he\u2019s right. (But the minaret issue isn\u2019t the tip of an iceberg on growing concern with Muslims.)<\/div>\n
6. Do you button up<\/a>?<\/div>\n
7. Political language<\/a> discussion: e.g., what does \u201cprogressive\u201d mean?<\/div>\n
8. Roland Martin\u2019s rant<\/a>. Personally, I agree that Obama\u2019s Admin has to take responsibility, but that is not to say that a previous Admin\u2019s legacy doesn\u2019t last for a long, long time.<\/div>\n
9. A bit long, but worth your read: on improving marriage<\/a>.<\/div>\n
10. Shocking brief editorial<\/a>. Talk about shocking: Stanley Fish<\/a> has a positive take on Sarah Palin\u2019s autobiography.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Meandering in Sports<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wow, this is a big story<\/a> waiting to happen. I\u2019m all for it!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Can you believe those surfers in Hawaii?<\/div>\n
