We’re over here in Italy this week — with my mom and dad faithfully attending to our senior citizen Bichon Frise, Webster — and when I get back a speaking event: the Spiritual Formation Forum<\/a>.
\nBrilliant piece by Will Samson<\/a> on the passing of Falwell and the passing of an era. An echo of Will’s piece can be found in the NY Times<\/a> — are evangelicals shifting? You bet they are, and they are showing signs of capturing more of the 19th Century vision of evangelicalism.
\nBuying books<\/a>?
\nAnyone know anything about this new blog<\/a> by the editors of Today’s Christian Woman<\/em>?
\nAh, there’s just something about Maria<\/a>.
\nI hope Steve McCoy has figured out how to use his Phriday is for Photos<\/a> in his sermons. One night I spent over an hour in his photo album wondering, most of the time, how he gets such good pictures.
\nGood words about promises <\/a>from John Frye.
\nOne of North Park’s finest<\/a> is featured: Jeff Nelson<\/a>.
\nMy theory: rarely work from 6-10pm, and take off weekends. Why? It’s the way God made us. Check out this article<\/a>; read slowly and think about it.
\nWhat would the Apostle Paul say about this<\/a>?
\n1. Trevin Wax<\/a>: letters with a Roman Catholic.
\n2. Florida’s decision<\/a> to require physical education — make it physical, make it educational — is a good decision. I hope more States join in.
\n3. Professor websites<\/a>.
\n4. What emerges, buzzes for just a little while, and then goes away? Cicadas<\/a>.
\n5. Love this one by Don Johnson<\/a> — church cooperation. (I won’t get into the homeschooling-emergent analogy he makes in the post before this one.)
\n6. Michael Krahn is exploring whether not this is the age of atheism<\/a>.
\n7. Weigh in on this one if you can at Kathy Khang’s blog<\/a>.
\n8. iMonk interview<\/a>.
\n9. No doubt about it<\/a>: The Left Behind Chronicles.
\n10. The Young Christian man named Domain<\/a>.
\n11. Let us not forget this reminder by Allan Bevere<\/a>.
\n12. Shane Claiborne<\/a> interview that spurs us to think. (HT: Ted Gossard)
\nSports:
\nWill it be the Yanks vs. the Cubs<\/a> in the Big Bopper on the night of the Big Dance? (HT: Scott Austin)
\nI knew Chicago was destined to win something this summer, I just didn’t know it would be this<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
