Blog of the week: JR Briggs’ post on reading habits<\/a>.
\nAnd do you read Dawn? Check out this post<\/a>.
\nDave Dunbar’s Missional Journal<\/a><\/em> — worth reading.
\nNice missional sketches by Henriet<\/a>.
\nThe business sabbatical<\/a>. Gotta like that.
\n“4Real<\/a>” under discussion.
\nGood<\/a>.
\n1. On tour<\/a>.
\n2. On free enterprise: I’d like to have a law that worked that kept spammers from filling my spam box with junk ads about drugs. On some days I get as many as 200. I won’t mention which drugs because, so my clever friends tell me, that attracts even more.
\n3. Muslim and Episcopal priest<\/a>.
\n4. The world’s most expensive cities<\/a> — no Chicago. Save your rubles if you’re headed for Moscow.
\n5. A stunning piece on the one-child per family policy of China by Ross Douthat<\/a>.
\n6. If Kris and I live until the Parousia, our years are exactly half taken: a la Sir Isaac Newton<\/a>.
\n7. The Vatican announces the 10 commandments for drivers<\/a>, and Italian drivers — esp motorcyclists — need them.
\n8. Sand more dangerous than sharks<\/a>. Say what?
\n9. Religious jewelry<\/a> — fashion or faithful?
\n10. I’m sure Michelle Wie<\/a> will succeed as a professional golfer, but getting youngsters into the tour too soon can do serious damage to the ego and career — ever hear of Ty Tyron? No need to hurry.
\n11. Under-age drinking: environmental solutions<\/a>. (HT: Ben Dubow)
\n12. I know this is a longer list than normal, but here’s a story about a church<\/a> with a routine 24-hour prayer chain.
\nSports:
\nTitle IX commentary<\/a>.
\nBetter even than the real McCoy<\/a>.
\nOakmont golf course wins, but Angel Cabrera comes in second<\/a>! What a great tournament.
\nWhen “Fore!” was “Fire!”<\/a>
\nMichael Barrett goes to the Padres<\/a>, and we’ll miss his spirit and hitting here in Cubland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
