\nChicago will miss Wally Phillips<\/a>, fondly called “Wally What’s His Name” by Bob Collins:
\n\"wally-whats-his-name.jpg\"<\/a>
\nEarth Hour<\/a> tonight at 8pm.
\nReally good story by Karen<\/a>.
\nDay in and day out, Eugene Cho is one good blogger … and this little post<\/a> about my pastor being a janitor is a(nother) good one.
\nThoroughly modern do-gooders<\/a>.
\nMy son-in-law, Mark Barringer, is working on this Willow Project: Hunger 08<\/a>.
\nFor those of you who have Holy Saturday services, Fr. Rob Merola<\/a> has a great meditation you can print out and adopt and adapt next year for yourself.
\nEd Gilbreath<\/a> collects some links about race and rage and prophets.
\nA postmodern remix<\/a> of C. Michael Patton’s famous map … I hadn’t seen this map but it is funny.
\nChris Ridgeway has put Mark Driscoll’s talk about emerging<\/a> into a full script on pdf.
\nJR Woodward<\/a> begins a new series on conversion — is it a 4-letter word?
\nMy review of AC Thiselton, Hermeneutics of Doctrine<\/a>\"\"<\/em>, at Christianity Today online<\/a>.
\nA piece I wrote for Rick Warren’s Ministry Toolbox<\/a>.
\nDavid Fitch begins a two-part review of Brian McLaren’s Deep Shift project<\/a>. Along this line, check out TSK’s interview of Brian McLaren<\/a> about criticisms of EMC.
\nSteroidemergent<\/a>.
\nAn excellent article on L’Abri <\/a>(in Switzerland), and Greg Laughery, who often weighs in on this blog, is quoted a few times.
\n1. City-wide internet plans<\/a> are taking big hits.
\n2. Bob Robinson <\/a>on Obama and Jeremiah Wright and the RR’s rhetoric.
\n3. Growing length of life disparities<\/a> between rich and poor.

\n6. Two of my favorite pastors on funerals: Fr. Rob<\/a> and Jim Martin<\/a>.
\n7. John Frye’s giving the Westminster Confession some grief<\/a>.
\n8. Ted’s got a good new post on listening<\/a>.
\n9. If you’ve read this far, Mark Van Steenwyk’s piece on racism and the mountain of bones<\/a> is a serious piece, but well worthy of serious pondering. Michael Cline’s follow-up<\/a> is a concrete, Franciscan-Anabaptist perspective that I like.
\n10. At the bottom of my list this week is this sadness<\/a>.
\nJust in case you are interested in self-employed and insurance struggles<\/a>.
\nSports:
\nMy new driver. This is my official warning to Mark Galli. Make way for Sumo 2<\/a>.
\nTiger had a bad Saturday but he put up a good run Sunday afternoon. Good for Geoff Ogilvie.
\nWhat in the world happened to David Duvall? And I feel bad that Davis Love II hasn’t been able to stay closer to the top in the last two years … one of the fine gentlemen of golf.
\nBaseball … it’s in the air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
