 Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work we go…<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n


Which Scriptures are referred to most on the internet? Matt Dabbs<\/a> with his annual, and interesting, report.<\/p>\n

Helen Lee’s big study of the missional drift\/shift<\/a>.<\/p>\n

De-versifying the Bible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ed Gilbreath on Obama’s election<\/a>. And David Fitch<\/a> offers a big perspective on the election. Obama’s new website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Female Christian bloggers<\/a>, which doesn’t include one of our favorites: Karen Spears Zacharias. So read her new post on the heart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My favorite emerging theologian: Rick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of emerging … John Frye’s got a funny post on Jesus and emerging<\/a>. Read this review of Elizabeth Fox-Genovese by Robbie Hutchens<\/a>. L.L. Barkat’s<\/a> Thanksgiving invitation. Eugene Cho<\/a> has a post about church and marketing. I’ve not seen a church with more artistic settings than Don (and Martha) Johnson’s church<\/a> on the hills above Santa Barbara and his picture here<\/a> is worth thinking about. This post from iMonk<\/a> just may be for you. Poverty, prosperity and the conflict trap<\/a>. Jim Martin<\/a> on character and integrity. Ted Gossard talks about a topic we all need to be thinking about: civility<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bob Robinson <\/a>extends a conversational hand to Chuck Colson on the image of God and the dignity of plants.<\/p>\n

Fr. Rob<\/a> reflects on how our questions change as we age. Very insightful. Rob for me is the next generation’s Buechner.<\/p>\n

Tony has a review of Rachel Getting Married<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Annoying phrases<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of annoying: read Mark Galli unleashed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Orthodoxy without orthopraxy<\/a>?
2. Before you exercise or run or compete<\/a>. And before you have a heart attack<\/a>, check this out.
3. Poll numbers are already being collected for the next election. Yowza! Here’s my promise: not a word about the next Presidential election until January (or later) of 2012.
4. Barna’s newest report: how faith and the election interacted<\/a>. Steven Waldman of Beliefnet reports that many pro-life evangelicals voted for Obama<\/a>.
5. I like the direction<\/a> of this piece by Nicholas Kristof.
6. Never seen anything quite like this<\/a>.
7. Starbuck’s<\/a>, along with other businesses that cater to pleasures, is struggling.
8. Thanksgiving means cranberries<\/a>…
9. Rehabilitation through music<\/a>. Nice story.
10. How sad is this<\/a>?<\/p>\n

A chimp adopts some tigers.

Sports:<\/p>\n

When our son Lukas was in his second year of minor league baseball with the Cubs, there was a young catcher from Puerto Rico who seemed to have everyone’s attention. One summer he and Lukas were slated to split time in Daytona Beach — and Luke told us this young player had great hands and a good arm and a great approach at the plate. This week it was announced that the young man, Geovany Soto, was NL Rookie of the Year<\/a>. Congrats to Geo! Well, Geo made it to The Show and Luke is finding players for The Show.<\/p>\n

Gotta love the Bears … man, it takes guts to hang in there with the Chicago teams.<\/p>\n
