Next Sunday we’ll be at Emmaus Community and then on Monday at the emerging group Up\/rooted. For details, see here<\/a>.
\nI’m not a specialist in college football, but if the USC game against Notre Dame is any indication of how good USC is, I think the BCS championship should be Ohio State vs. Michigan.
\nNew blog: Bradley Wright<\/a> is a sociologist and a Christian, and he explores the connection of sociology to Christianity; here’s a good post<\/a>. His new series — nice, short, but 10-part — on divorce rates, beginning here, is a highlight series<\/a>.
\nGood news from Seattle: Rose Swetman’s report<\/a> of the conversation with Mark Driscoll<\/a> (Driscoll has a nice summary too).
\nI hope you link to Brad Boydston’s Blog<\/a>.
\nDo you listen to e-books? Check out John Frye’s post on Grisham<\/a>.
\n1. Seminary students’ blogs are being monitored<\/a>. Alarming. I caught this late, but it has to be posted here.
\n2. Are we locked into dreads<\/a>?
\n3. Happiness: Money or Relationships<\/a>?
\n4. Who do you vote for<\/a>?
\n5. Our fathers were driver’s education instructors; I remember the days before seat belts; and now they are suggested as maybe not as safe<\/a>; my theory: if you drive safely, the belts make driving even more safe. And I’m stickin’ with my theory.
\n6. Good piece by David Van Biema<\/a> on the Rick Warren\/Barack Obama flap.
\n7. I promised myself some time ago that I would link to my favorite sites every week — having been reminded that most of my readers alreadly link to Jim Martin and Mark Roberts (and I added Don Johnson last week), but this new series by Mark Roberts <\/a>is a must-read-got-to-start-living-it for leaders.
\n8. Does recognition indicate that evangelicalism is losing its grip? Barna says so<\/a>.
\n9. Good thoughts on Mark Galli’s blog<\/a>.
\n10. Pastoral visitation with Don Johnson<\/a>.
\nSports:
\nI worry about the Bears these days. But, I do think they’ll get 14 wins out of this season. And my consolation from last week’s loss to the Pats is that 3 years ago they would have been drubbed by the Pats. They’ve come a long way.
\nThe worst thing about NCAA basketball, and I say this only because it is true, is that Dick Vitale is back on TV. Would to God that he had silenced Dicky V instead of Zechariah, father of John Baptist.
\nHow about Bill Self, head BB coach at Univ of Kansas, getting a whopping 1.35M per year salary!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
