Great story about Flannery O’Connor<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Here’s a story about Kris’ basketball family<\/a>. It’s in our blood. Kris and I often played together as little kids in the gyms where our dads coached.<\/p>\n

Jeff at iCrucified <\/a>is reading 40 Days Living the Jesus Creed<\/i> with his wife and is blogging about it. Do check out the wallpaper<\/a> he made for reciting Jesus Creed. Simple words that give life. Healing prayer<\/a> — many churches have these kinds of services. Over at Jim Martin’s blog<\/a> there’s a guest blog about mentoring. Mark this down as a date that matters: Eugene Cho<\/a> is wondering if he should twitter. Yo, Eugene, even this old guy tweets at times. Fr Rob<\/a> reflects on the laity-clergy distinction by talking about who does the shoveling. One of the most valuable features of blogging is having enough readers that a question can be asked that generates all kinds of answers; check out what Erika Haub’s<\/a> recent post did.<\/p>\n

Our grandson, Aksel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A missional seminary by conviction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Hipster.jpg\"<\/span>Are you a hipster<\/a>? Here’s an expert at work on a subculture. Are you overworking or underworking<\/a>? Here’s another expert at work. Are you a poet<\/a>? L.L. Barkat writes and links to poetry. Are you preaching on sin during Lent<\/a>? Here’s a preacher showing his cards early. Are you in need of aesthetics at your church<\/a>? Here’s an expert (Martha) whose husband (Don) takes the pictures. (That’s my guess.) <\/p>\n

Susan Thistlethwaite<\/a> (don’t say that name fast) has a piece in the Washington Post that warns of the connection of violence against women with submission. And David Brooks<\/a> has a few warnings himself: Is Brooks The Third Way? The Englewood Review of books<\/a> is now doing podcasts.<\/p>\n

Moving on-the-ground-level piece about real life in Zimbabwe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Electronic medical records<\/a>: personally, I’m all for this. It might be because I dislike filling out medical forms in the office.
2. Our internet-savvy President<\/a> and the struggles for .gov to be online.
3. Nicholas Kristof <\/a>responds to the criticisms of President Obama’s health care hopes.
4. David Kahane<\/a>.
5. Googling<\/a>.
6. An interesting article on the social nature of rearing children<\/a>.
7. Rewards<\/a> in public education: What will happen if this comes to colleges and universities?
8. Muslim Eboo Patel’s<\/a> honest and helpful piece on abuse of women.
9. Jonah Goldberg’s sketch of Rush Limbaugh<\/a> includes an appeal to bring back Firing Line.<\/i>
10. Texas Christian professors are split on evolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sports<\/p>\n

Spring Training home run by Rami.<\/p>\n
