Summer sports …

\nA post to read and ponder from iMonk<\/a>, with this line: “When I look up from the road, I notice that the lights in the distance are closer and the noise behind me is not as loud.”
\nPro-life means anti-torture<\/a>.
\nMr. Beck, there’s a reason for this<\/a>: Obama is interesting; McCain isn’t. Some bias, sure; more charisma.
\nMissional and a building<\/a> — good post by Rose Swetman (part two<\/a>). John Frye shows that exegesis means listening to others<\/a>. Jim Martin asks us a good question<\/a>. Erika <\/a>tells a good story. Karen’s book<\/a> is due out soon. Eugene and education<\/a> and he’s got a picture of some interesting sculpture<\/a>. How many of you face this problem <\/a>at times?
\nPromise me you won’t do this<\/a>!
\nTom Smith working into a theology for South Africa<\/a>.
\nAnd here is a piece on the invasion of Africa by the Chinese<\/a>. Anyone know about this topic?
\nNever a Dull Moment<\/a> over at ConversantLife.com<\/a>. (Does anyone follow ConversantLife.com? I just heard of it and it looks like a good site.)
\nSpeaking of conversant … John Stackhouse has a post on the Top Ten apologists<\/a>. Who is your nomination?
\nAnd on nominations, David Fitch<\/a> wonders whether it is Christian to vote.
\nWhat kind of life do people desire<\/a>?
\nDid you see this video<\/a>? So very cool.
\n\"volleyball.jpg\"<\/a>
\n1. A local newsaper, local grammar, and a country-wide problem<\/a>.
\n2. When a free society and religious commitment collide<\/a>.
\n3. Encore careers<\/a>.
\n4. Open source science and inventions<\/a>.
\n5. Seeing the light or feeling the heat<\/a>?
\n6. When this <\/a>happens for Faculty Meetings the Eschaton will have arrived!
\n7. Facebook, MySpace<\/a> and the future of teens.
\n8. T. Boone Pickens<\/a> … who would his VP be?
\n9. Students invading food banks<\/a>.
\n10. And now this: Does this <\/a>sound like the tax collector’s prayer in Luke 18?
\nSports:
\nIt was too good to be true, but Greg Norman almost pulled it off. But, congrats to Padraig Harrington. We’d have been in for a year of zaniness if Poulter had somehow managed to win.
\nA tragedy of overindulgence<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
