I speak this week at an InterVarsity Christian Fellowship event — and of all things it is being held within a mile of my home on the same street on which we make our abode. Title: How to talk about the Gospel (if you must) and How to talk about evangelism (since you must).
\nMore for Lent: stations of the cross<\/a>.
\nAnd at Lent it is good to confess; here’s a story of confession from YS and Marko<\/a>.
\nLonger school days? Some say yes; I say smaller classrooms<\/a> and starting at 9am (kids don’t function well without lots of sleep).
\nToo funny not to link: Karen’s got a good one again<\/a>. I dare you to read this without laughing aloud (I’m not keen on the “out loud” variant of “aloud”).
\nCan you be both emerging and purpose-driven? Check out this<\/a>. (HT: BD)
\nI like pastors who like pastoring — guess who? Jim Martin<\/a>.
\nThe tomb of Jesus: a nice set of sources at Stephen Shields<\/a>.
\nChicago’s Mayor Daley wins again<\/a> — no surprise there. The big surprise is that my students have figured out they can be polling judges and make 500 dollars for doing it (almost nothing). I’m guessing I had 25 students missing Tuesday.
\nPrince Charles<\/a>, that old fuddy-duddy, is picking on McDonald’s food. He ought to think a little more about “fish and chips” shops in the UK. (Confession time.)
\n1. Chicago’s own, Jennifer Hudson<\/a>, wins an Oscar.
\n2. Antarctica thaw reveals new critters<\/a>.
\n3. The difference between Ukraine and here when it comes to the faith: See John Frye<\/a>.
\n4. What is redemptive? Read Karen’s ruminations<\/a>. First time I’ve seen mama<\/a> and Linda — I’ve met Frankie.
\n5. Do you text message? What are its advantages?<\/a> (By the way, don’t ask me.)
\n6. Vanitor <\/a>(Vanity Monitor).
\n7. I heard on TV that Ruby Tuesday’s Colossal Burger <\/a>— no kidding — as the fat and calories of no fewer than five McDonald’s Quarter pounders!
\n8. Confessions of a blogger: Erika’s story<\/a>. (And I link to her because she’s a good writer.)
\n9. I wish all grammar books were this fun<\/a>.
\n10. Love this pic and story<\/a>.
\n11. God is Jesus<\/a>.
\n12. Saw this late Saturday: DA Carson gave some lectures and Bob Robinson has responded in a series. They begin here<\/a>.
\nSports:
\nEvent of the Week: Pat Summit donning a cheerleading outfit<\/a>. What a hoot that was.
\nHonus Wagner<\/a> baseball card sold. My mom got tired of my baseball cards and threw them all away. I tell everyone I’d be a millionaire had she kept them — but I’d probably only be strapped with a few boxes of thumbed baseball cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
