I’ve changed the name from our weekly “Blogs of the Week” to “Weekly Meanderings” because we don’t restrict the post to blogs. After a week off while we were away, we start up again. Enjoy. Along with a change in name for this, I’ve overdone it by having too many links this week. Well, I missed reading blogs for a week and had some catching up to do. I’m wondering what everyone does about the blogroll. Every now and then I clean it up, and feel bad about those I’ve eliminated. Do we just leave them there forever?
\nHere’s a nice beginner’s source for the Emerging movement by Wess Daniels.
\n<\/a>
\nIf you have a few minutes, please take this survey on religion and politics<\/a>.
\nNews of the week for me: a new phone called “Q”<\/a>. Will it contain only sayings? Is it the origin of all other cell phones? The most primitive yet?
\nThere are no next Billy Grahams, since he was a man for his time, but Rob Bell<\/a> is one who has been recently suggested to be the next Billy Graham. I like Rob’s comments.
\nJim Martin’s comments on the silent man. Part 1<\/a>, part 2<\/a>, and part 3<\/a>.
\nAllan Bevere<\/a> has now officially joined Jim Martin for wise observations. Try to stop by Allan when you get a chance.
\nSo has Kerry Doyal,<\/a> with his wise thoughts on marriage.
\nAn uncommon resolution<\/a> to the all-too-common pastor-church conflict: see Brad Bergfalk’s honest and hopeful post about what is happening in Jamestown, NY. Pastors and church leaders need to read this post.
\nDavid Fitch puts up a jeremiad regularly: here’s one on the un-churched<\/a> being the marginal attenders of megachurches.
\n1. Mike Imrem’s story about Roger Clemens and Dwight Gooden<\/a> in our local paper, The Daily Herald<\/em>.
\n2. Women in the Academy<\/a>.
\n3. How smart of a driver are you<\/a>? Ever been to Naples? I hear they are off all charts.
\n4. No wonder Steve McCoy’s behind in his book reading: he’s been standing in the rain taking pictures of lightning<\/a>. Seriously, another good pic from Steve. I hope he leaves me alone for my pictures of Italy.
\n5. Have to admit that I really enjoyed this personal reflection<\/a> on Br. Maynard’s honeymoon and anniversary. Thanks, Bro. Maynard.
\n6. Nice post by Dan Kimball <\/a>on what people hope for in a local church.
\n7. Drew Moser often has a short video posted. Here’s one where Pat Robertson leg presses about 1,000 pounds<\/a>.
\n8. Can’t resist linking to Marko: Kinkade’s never been my favorite<\/a>, though I know folks who like him plenty.
\n9. Kay Warren<\/a>, Rick Warren’s wife, is committed to helping those with AIDS. Lynne Hybels, at Willow Creek, also has worked hard at the same global issue.
\n10. Leonard Hjamarlson<\/a>‘s weighing on how to look at Scripture.
\n11. Bob Robinson’s series on shalom and the gospel and freedom<\/a> — very good stuff.
\n12. Going fishing? Plan ahead and ask Fr. Rob<\/a>. He’s done his best to find the positives in a tough fishing trip.
\n13. If you understand what it means to upgrade the internet<\/a>, I wouldn’t mind a user-friendly explanation.
\nHere’s some good news: College students<\/a> like this more than beer.
\nThe World Cup began this week. I hear there are more than 60 games on TV before it is done; that means about 100 hours of soccer; that means about 5 minutes of scoring. ‘nuf said!
\nYou might want to take this test<\/a> on theology. The way they are using Anselm is confusing, as they have him connected to the basic problem of humans being not to render to God a proper obedience, when the word should be “honor.” “Obedience” could be taken more in the direction of recapitulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
