(Say the Jesus Creed<\/a> morning and evening during Lent.)

\nKris and I are down in Florida, visiting with friends and speaking at 1st Presbyterian<\/a> (on Saturday late afternoon) in Naples. Monday through Wednesday I’ll be out in San Diego at the National Pastor’s Convention<\/a>.
\nDelegates … here’s an article<\/a> that explains it.
\nIf you’ve got 5 minutes for hilarity, this is one funny prank on a major league pitcher<\/a>.
\nPaper altars<\/a>.
\nTom Ward’s beautiful reflections on hospitality<\/a>.
\nJim Martin on street-level faith<\/a>.
\nJohn Frye on deadly truth<\/a>.
\nNew atheism<\/a>. Watch it closely and you might 8) see yours truly.
\nDavid Fitch’s reflections<\/a> on how we package salvation.
\nA new website on science and faith<\/a> — David Vinson’s site. I’ve linked to it as “Nexus.”
\nThere’s an interesting conversation at Michael Kruse’s blog <\/a>about Emergent. Michael, I believe, keeps things honest.
\nErika on our bottomless pit of desires<\/a>.
\n1. Sarkozy promotes a Holocaust curriculum<\/a>.
\n2. Susan Jacoby<\/a>, who finds angles on significant subjects, is in the news for her book about American knowledge and education.
\n3. Do you get migraines<\/a>? Here’s a good article — I have had a few myself.
\n4. There’s got to be some theology here: legally dead vs. really dead<\/a>.
\n5. This reminds me<\/a> of that old, frolickin’ Paul McCartney\/Michael Jackson video.
\n6. Cool picture:
\n\"stars.jpg\"<\/a>
\n7. 6 Emerger Questions<\/a> … Nick’s looking for a conversation at his site.
\n8. For true coffee lovers … Billy Kanga’s Liturgy of Espresso<\/a>.
\n9. A fellow Anabaptist (Drew Moser<\/a>) with some good thoughts about election.
\n10. My list above started getting too long, so this is down here, but T’s got some thoughts about orthodoxy<\/a>. Tony Jones and I will be sparring soon about the meaning of orthodoxy.
\nSports:
\nBaseball player freak injuries<\/a>; you’ve got to see this one. (HT: Luke)
\nAlert: ACL injuries on the rise for children<\/a>, especially girls.
\nNCAA basketball: Illinois isn’t very good; Northwestern isn’t; Kris and I have turned our attention to the Lady Vols.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
