Chicago Spring means baby robins:

\nIt also means backyard visitors, like this glorious Rosebreasted Grosbeak:

\nThere is a very good conversation at Kent Eilers’ blog<\/a> on “asking Jesus into your heart.”
\nAnd a great missional ministry <\/a>among those most affected by xenophobia in Johannesburg; Tom Smith’s at ground level working his way into missional work in Jo’burg.
\nBob Robinson’s got a great video posted<\/a>. My response: “Wow!”
\nDon Johnson<\/a> not only posted Rublov but also a solid reflection on the importance of Trinity Sunday.
\nCollin Hansen and Tony Jones<\/a> engage in a conversation about their respective books — and both are civil and both are swinging bats coated with padding.
\nDavid Fitch<\/a> treated us to a post yesterday but I have to give him some props for this excellent post on picking out a house missionally.
\nOne of the best things about South Africa? Baboons <\/a>in the wild. But, they can mess things up but good.
\nMy favorite moment in American Idol: David Cook singing with ZZ Topp …
\n\"zz.jpg\"<\/a>
\nWho would you sing with if you got a chance? How about this guy<\/a>?
\nMarko’s become wise<\/a>.
\nDing, ding, ding: Emerging humor of the week<\/a>.
\nFr Rob to the Rescue<\/a>: there’s nothing Rob won’t do to help our animals, esp if they are slimy or slither.
\n1. Einstein on God<\/a>.
\n2. We learned the plight of the Zimbabweans<\/a> when we were in S Africa — a fresh breakout of violence against the immigrants is a growing concern for Johannesburg and South Africa. So also is emigration<\/a>.
\n3. Erika’s cry for renewal <\/a>— sound, sensitive reflection.
\n4. A church historian to know: Eusebius<\/a>.
\n5. The brain as we age<\/a> … interesting piece.
\n6. Many of us are anti-abortion because we want the pro-life agenda applied to everything. Good reminder by Stan Guthrie<\/a>.
\n7. Michael Kruse<\/a> reviews Stackhouse’s book … our next book to blog through.
\n8. Only bloggers can understand this one<\/a>.
\n9. I read Arthur Brooks’ book on happiness<\/a> recently and here’s a niece review of it.
\n10. Erika’s new baby<\/a>. Micro-baby.
\nGood. Maybe this is the solution<\/a>.

\nWhere’s ole Diz when you need a pithy comment on a quirky news story<\/a> in baseball?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
