We, and this cardinal, are ready for Spring:
\n\"cardinal.jpg\"<\/a>
\nDon Johnson’s brief <\/a>— and to the point — post is illuminatingly insightful; other points could be made, and I’m not thinking just about NPTS but about seminaries in general. Here’s the NYT<\/a><\/em> article.
\n?In general, gender trumps race. … Race may be easier to overcome<\/a>.?
\n“Them bones<\/a>” by Erika.
\nFather-daughter<\/a>. Nice one Rob. Husband and wife, too<\/a>. Wow. And Linda was in my class when she and Rob fell in love.
\nPray for her<\/a> (who sits in this room writing).
\nPhilosophy majors<\/a> on the rise.
\nJR Woodward<\/a> finishes up a nice series on conversion.
\nProsperity gospel in the African American Church<\/a>?
\nBill Buckner’s interview at Fenway was moving … here’s a report<\/a>.
\n\"billy-buckner.jpg\"<\/a>
\nOne of our readers, Chris Brooks, weighs in on theistic evolution and theologizing<\/a>.
\nStanley Fish explains deconstruction<\/a>.
\nEven better, Kevin Corcoran’s set of thoughts on what postmodernity is<\/a>. You probably can’t find a better short treatment than this.
\nJesus goes postal<\/a>.
\nPrayer and support<\/a>.
\nPray again for June Bug<\/a> — but there’s lots of good news in this story.
\nCT<\/em> stuff I liked this week: Al Hsu’s nice piece<\/a> on the variety of ways of articulating the gospel and all that stuff about the future of Christian bookstores <\/a>— if only I could get paid for the hours I’ve spent wandering in them (and a few shorter pieces here<\/a>).
\n1. The Non-determinist<\/a>, John Frye, weighs in.
\n2. Stick TSK’s piece in your emerging file<\/a>, and the next time someone talks about absolute truth or someone in emerging denying truth, pull it out to remind yourself of what is going on.
\n3. When engineers “do humor.”<\/a>
\n4. Good story about Pope Benedict<\/a>.
\n\"pope-benedict.jpg\"<\/a>
\n6. Good coffee and flying bats<\/a>. (HT: RJS)
\n7. Death by blogging<\/a>.
\n8. An unusual disease and creativity<\/a>.
\n9. The Texan SBC<\/a> is stirring the pot again.
\n10. For those who read this far … a deeply serious study by Greg Boyd on violence<\/a> and God in the Old Testament.
\nSports:
\nKansas was awesome in the NCAA men’s tournament, but Bill Self let us down<\/a> within twelve hours. Since when is 1.5 M not “security”?
\nThe women’s NCAA surprised both Kris and me; we thought for sure the Stanford Cardinal was going to win.
\nThe Masters begins with some fog.
