Aksel and his friends<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Blogissimo, Los Blogos, Das Blog des Blogges, Blog bloggim, the blog of all blogs<\/a> — JR Woodward has put together an amazing set of resources about all things missional. Many many thanks from everyone who cares about missional. And Dan Kimball <\/a>does some missional thinking himself.<\/p>\n

Colin Powell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Molly and culture<\/a>.  On the road with an atheist and a Christian<\/a>.  I’m convinced that blogs can be a force for civility, and so I’m happy to see pieces like this<\/a> written — and now what we need is the increase of civil forums. IJM’s ministries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our friend, Kathy Khang, recently talked in chapel about sex at Wheaton College<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jim Martin<\/a>: you can count on some simple wisdom from this pastor (pastors, read this<\/a> too). Our friend Eugene Cho calls it “inconceivable<\/a>.” A visual prayer<\/a> of the Shepherd’s Psalm. Fr Rob reflects on all saints day<\/a> — and Kris and I were both moved by Rob’s kind words<\/a> about our move to Beliefnet. Thanks Rob. Tony Jones<\/a>, now also at Beliefnet, introduces some more folks to Pete Rollins. Don Johnson reflects on his non-partisanship as a pastor<\/a> and what it teaches him. One of this blog’s friends is Michael Kruse<\/a> — someone to read during election seasons. Reflective piece by Tom Smith<\/a>. Are politics a spiritual discipline<\/a>? Read Tim Keel’s post. Another good post by Bob at Vanguard<\/a> on political fears. YSMarko<\/a> on extended adolescence.<\/p>\n

What did Ed have to say about the election? Read this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Everyone go over to Karen’s site and help her answer this question<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mike and Amanda Husnick’s update<\/a> about their work in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Another excellent piece from Missional Journal<\/a> by Dave Dunbar: The walls of hostility.<\/p>\n

iMonk on Hell House<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Krista Tippett and Steve Waldman<\/a>: an interview about the founding fathers and religious freedom.
2. Top 10 actors who became politicians<\/a>.
3. RAND<\/a> concludes there is a high correlation between sexual content on TV and teenage pregnancy.
4. So you want to be a doctor? Med school stress<\/a>.
5. The Electoral College<\/a> weighs votes — leading to some potential serious oddities.<\/p>\n

I wonder what this farmer thinks of our elections.<\/p>\n

\"AmishFarmer.jpg\"<\/a><\/span>6. A clearly reasoned article on the dying out of the power of cultural wars rhetoric<\/a>.
7. Patton Dodd lists his top 10 Christian blogs<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Sports:<\/p>\n

The Bears, due to some good QB-ing from Rex Grossman, were able to defeat the Detroit Lions.  The “D” isn’t doing well but somehow the team has won more than expected. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
