Last Saturday morning I opened up the Dell computer our school provides and it wouldn’t turn on, and hasn’t since that day. Well, that’s fine — as I’m a Mac man — except that my daily mail and internet routines were all set up on that computer. So, here goes for another version of our Weekly Meanderings.\"chicago-lightning.jpg\"<\/a>Congrats to Linda Cannell<\/a>. Linda and I were colleagues back in the days when we were …. uh, younger…\"linda-cannell-head-shot-gordonconwell.JPG\"<\/a>One of those who blogs here often was interviewed on a blog: Biblioblogs<\/a>. The picture is is my response to the question: “How many points of Calvinism do you believe!”So many good things this week on my favorite blogs, so I’ll just give them in a lump right here. Jim Martin has a good piece on “do-overs”<\/a> and I suspect many of us will like his stuff with LL Barkat<\/a> on the quiet house (one<\/a> and two<\/a>) [and give it up to those like Jim who post great pictures with each post]. There is a very good conversation about Segregation on Sundays<\/a> at Eugene Cho’s blog. Good one Rob<\/a>. Read this one by iMonk<\/a> but I have to say on his “once saved, always saved<\/a>” that I know lots of Baptists who believe that and who don’t really believe in perseverance because they don’t really believe in apostasy. Don Johnson’s got a good little discussion starter about conversation<\/a>. And Michael Kruse<\/a> reminds me again this week that he’s a blogging machine about facts and trends. Erika<\/a> reminds us of what prompts us to pray. TSK gets this one right<\/a>: use the word “emerging church” or not? A public kind of missional gathering with Tamara Buchan<\/a>. And Marko’s got a Christian “tat” post<\/a>.If you like Robert Webber’s Ancient-Future books, check this out<\/a>.Molly loves home-schooling<\/a>, except the reality of it so she’s decided to …A journal of healing<\/a>.A New Blog: Koinonia<\/a>.Dan Kimball<\/a> got a new (vintage, old, loop collar) shirt.Goodbye Solzhenitsyn<\/a>.John Frye knows a good book<\/a> when he sees one! And he knows the problem with a sound-byte gospel<\/a> too.Cathleen Falsani<\/a> on Cal Thomas on Barack Obama on Jesus.Where do we put this? I guess here is as good as anywhere:<\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object>1. The Montauk Monster<\/a>: What do you think? (It looked like a Yankee fan to me.)2. Who will be McCain’s VP<\/a>?3. The man destined to follow Mbekei has a story as well: Jacob Zuma<\/a>.4. Yes, Bob Herbert<\/a> corners an important idea: energy conservation.5. Good news about coffee<\/a>.6. Douglas Coupland<\/a> reflects on how males view aging.7. Eat the beet<\/a>!8. Climate speak<\/a>.9. You can count on good ol’ Garrison Keillor for some political bias<\/a>.10.
