Here in Chicago we have had some unseasonably warm weather. Makes me think baseball is … hey, it is. Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training today!<\/p>\n

\nWe are saddened to hear the news that Harold Hoehner<\/a> has passed away. A wonderful man I always enjoyed seeing at annual academic meetings.<\/p>\n

Tyler Braun<\/a> ponders what the church will be like in the next generation. Lynn Anderson<\/a> on avoiding the affair trap. Eugene Cho<\/a> contends that Sunday gathering in community remains profoundly significant. Andy Rowell <\/a>ponders theological studies … and his blog is worth putting on your blogroll. Dan Reid <\/a>ponders Kindle — and the attachments we have to artifacts. (Dan, have you taught college students lately? Perhaps they have a book attachment disorder — called “BAD” by the diagnosticators.) When Tamara<\/a> gets a blue parakeet in her backyard she’ll reconfigure everything. Her post on friendship<\/a> irritates me: why would a hamburger joint even think of such a thing? And the very opposite can be seen in Philly with JR Briggs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Modeling.jpg\"<\/span>I swiped this picture to the right from one of my favorite bloggers, Don Johnson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite pastors is Rose Madrid-Swetman<\/a>, and she needs your help.<\/p>\n

Cool set of tree houses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Barna’s new study on spiritual gifts<\/a>. Rob Merola<\/a>‘s reflection on church furniture.<\/p>\n

Erica’s Lenten plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A voice from Oz I follow: Jarrod<\/a>. A voice from Canada, and once again giving the worship folks a pushback: John Stackhouse<\/a>. A voice from Minnesota: Doug Pagitt is now running for office in Minnesota<\/a>. A voice from Tennessee: Bob Smietana and the NRB<\/a>. A voice from France, or is that LA, or is it from Brett<\/a>? A voice from Ohio: Bob<\/a> on whether or not God is still speaking.<\/p>\n

Newsy bit about two wonderful young pastors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Children and happiness<\/a>.
2. From Pharaoh to Moses<\/a>.
3. David Waters<\/a> on papal reinstatement of a Holocaust denier.
4. A possible surging in employment<\/a> figures for women in comparison with men.
5. I try to get the Papal statements etc from the Vatican’s site<\/a>, but most of the time it now shows up only in Italian. Anyone know how to get each of these in English.
6. Is economic nationalism<\/a> the way out?
7. Here’s a good guide to Twitter<\/a>.
8. And here’s a good guide to Italian wine<\/a> … at cheap prices.
9. I enjoy, even when I don’t always agree with, Susan Thistlethwaite<\/a>‘s pieces; this one is on Darwin.
10. I have exactly no idea what any of these apps on Facebook<\/a> do.<\/p>\n

One of a kind<\/a>, Kris’ sister, Pat. Great coach, great lady!<\/p>\n

I have formed the Society to Return to Pre-Steroid Home Run Leaders<\/a>, including returning justified leadership back to Hank Aaron and Roger Maris. Who will join our Society at Facebook?<\/p>\n

“Tiger Woods’s wife, Elin, gave birth on Sunday to a boy, Charlie Axel
\nWoods. It is the second child for the couple; their daughter Sam was
\nborn in 2007.” Yes, another “Axel.” But our grandson spells his name “Aksel.”<\/p>\n

Hello from Aksel!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
