Farewell to President Ford<\/a>.
\nI am a big fan of Clarence Jordan<\/a> — not just for his stuff on the Sermon on the Mount, but also for his clever translations. Thanks to iMonk.
\nHere’s a blog series — I’m linking to the site — that is a “virtual book” on how to read the Bible<\/a>. Good one, Ken.
\n
\n1. This beach was big enough<\/a> for us — partly because I sat up yonder under a palm tree’s gentle, breezy shades!
\n2. A review of my Mary book<\/a> that reflects the spirit of Mary herself — thanks Greg. Ted Gossard is now finished reviewing Embracing Grace<\/a> — thanks Ted for such a thoughtful and thorough series.
\n3. Here’s a good listing of outrageous fees <\/a>we are sometimes asked to pay.
\n4. The Best Quotes of the Year<\/a>.
\n5. Rob, we too drive through the neighborhoods to see the lights<\/a>. If you ever get to Freeport Illinois at Christmas, make sure you see the “cherry tree”!
\n6. What would you do differently? Besides listen to Jim Martin’s short reflection<\/a>, I’d learn to use gadgets the way Jim can.
\n7. We haven’t seen the movie yet<\/a>, but here’s a nice story about what happened.
\n8. A good place to start with Mark Roberts’ reflections on Dickens<\/a>. I read the book every Christmas, and have done so for more than a decade.
\n9. We might ponder 2007 with this clear reminder from Michael Kruse<\/a>.
\n10. A good friend<\/a> has had a good year!
\n11. I’m not sure we needed to know this<\/a>.
\nSomewhere between the “sun and New York City” this was seen:<\/p>\n
