Where to begin?<br \/>\nIn a former life I was a X-country runner (my father was a coach). Lukas, on the other hand, played three sports as a kid (football, basketball, baseball) and then in high school he played just the latter two &#8212; none of them X-country. But, he has become a bit of a runner now, and he&#8217;s got a great post on <a href=\"http:\/\/mcknightro.blogspot.com\/2006\/09\/something-for-runners-among-us.html\">how to make running more efficient<\/a>. My theory would be to play golf more often.<br \/>\nComplaint that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2006\/EDUCATION\/09\/18\/teacher.training.ap\/index.html\">public school teachers are woefully prepared for teaching<\/a>. Can anyone tell me why there is no such certificate for college and university teachers? Is it because it is assumed &#8220;we&#8221; will know what we are doing? I&#8217;m grateful for some good role models, for some patience with young teachers, and for a myriad of books I&#8217;ve read about teaching.<br \/>\n1. High school is not college; and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2006\/EDUCATION\/09\/18\/admissions.game.ap\/index.html\">college shows why<\/a>.<br \/>\n2. I have a question re: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2006\/WORLD\/europe\/09\/18\/pope.islam.ap\/index.html\">the Pope&#8217;s comments<\/a>, which I&#8217;ve not seen in detail. Do you think it inflames relationships for the media to cover this issue as it has, and does it encourage further incidents by such coverage? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/world\/article\/0,8599,1536861,00.html?cnn=yes\">Good advice<\/a> for the Pope and the communication process.<br \/>\n3. This <a href=\"http:\/\/spearszacharias.bravejournal.com\/entry\/19986\">catawampus world of ours<\/a>: Karen&#8217;s got a good story.<br \/>\n4. I&#8217;m watching for this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2006\/POLITICS\/09\/18\/congress.tribunals\/index.html\">new wording<\/a> about interrogation techniques at Gitmo.<br \/>\n5. On acts of &#8220;God&#8221;: see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theooze.com\/articles\/article.cfm?id=1218\">Sarah Cunningham&#8217;s piece<\/a>.<br \/>\n6. Update on <a href=\"http:\/\/theresurgence.com\/md_blog_2006-09-19_its_always_something_at_mars_hill_church\">Mars Hill in Seattle<\/a> with Mark Driscoll. (HT: Steve McCoy)<br \/>\n7. 9\/11 sermon by Manhattan&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/kellered.blogspot.com\/2006\/09\/tim-keller-way-to-speak-to-diverse.html\">Tim Keller has been posted<\/a>; what I like is how he anchors the cross in human suffering (Jesus died <em>with <\/em>us, <em>instead <\/em>of us, and <em>for <\/em>us). (HT: again, Steve McCoy)<br \/>\n8. I love <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2006\/TECH\/science\/09\/20\/human.ancestor.ap\/index.html\">Lucy<\/a>.<br \/>\n9. A biography of <a href=\"http:\/\/alastair.adversaria.co.uk\/?p=371\">N.T. Wright at Adversaria<\/a>.<br \/>\n10. Ted Gossard has a nice post and discussion on <a href=\"http:\/\/communityofjesus.blogspot.com\/2006\/09\/kingdom-of-god-in-christ-is-political_21.html\">the kingdom and politics<\/a>.<br \/>\nSports:<br \/>\nThe good news out of baseball land is that it appears now that the Cubs will get the first pick in next year&#8217;s draft.<br \/>\nThe good news out of football land is that the Bears look like they&#8217;ll win 14 games.<br \/>\nMy fear in baseball land is that the World Series will be all NYC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best blog not enough are reading: Michael Kruse and the Kruse Kronicle.
