Walter Brueggemann<\/a> on the Bible’s view of economics. (HT: JD)<\/p>\n

A must-read blog by Owen Youngman<\/a>.
New blogs I’ve recently seen worth following: PreacherMike<\/a> and Wade Hodges<\/a>.
And Eric Bryan<\/a>t’s blog is uber-cool.<\/p>\n

David Cramer <\/a>has come out as a pacifist and has a number of informed discussions. A Christian by any other name: Lisa Miller<\/a>. Dan Reid<\/a> takes on Tom Wright. An excellent meditation by Mark Wylie<\/a>. Cyber-communities with TSK<\/a>. Nice<\/a> (but only if read slowly). I can count on Eugene<\/a> to put things in perspective. Jim Martin<\/a>‘s breath of fresh air. (We expect to see Jim today down in Texas.)<\/p>\n

Edsel’s back<\/a>. And so are the laments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh is establishing a Formation House<\/a> (Karen Sloan’s involved); check it out to see if you are interested.<\/p>\n

I really liked the post and conversation at Tom Ward’s FB site<\/a>, and don’t know if you have to be a FB member to get to it. Anyway, read it if you can. Julie Clawson<\/a> wonders aloud — as in “grieves” — about emerging Christians and how their children can be taught (think SS class curriculum) in the emerging way. Some things can’t be given away<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And some things are hard to explain<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"BPkts.jpg\"<\/span>Rev! Mag<\/i> interview about The Blue Parakeet: Rethinking How You Read the Bible<\/a>\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/em>. Our Fasting: The Ancient Practices<\/a> \"\"
\n<\/strong><\/em> is going Korean with the IVP group there — but it could take more than a year.<\/p>\n

Quote of the Week<\/a>: “This is the biggest generational transfer of wealth in the history of
\nthe world. If you’re an 18-year old middle-class hopeychanger, look at
\nthe way your parents and grandparents live: It’s not going to be like
\nthat for you. You’re going to have a smaller house, and a smaller car —
\nif not a basement flat and a bus ticket. You didn’t get us into this
\ncatastrophe. But you’re going to be stuck with the tab, just like the
\nGermans got stuck with paying reparations for the catastrophe of the
\nFirst World War. True, the Germans were actually in the war, whereas in
\nthe current crisis you guys were just goofing around at school, dozing
\nthrough Diversity Studies and hoping to ace Anger Management class. But
\ntough. That’s the way it goes.” Wow, that’s harsh.<\/p>\n

Weird issue of the week: cell phone bacteria<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. A machine<\/a> that transforms ingredients into a pizza in about 3 minutes. Hide the kids.
2. And I thought fishermen were liars<\/a>. (HT: TD)
3. The internet at 20 yrs old<\/a>. (HT: TD)
4. Arkansas<\/a> is discussing the wrong thing.
5. Very sad news<\/a>.
6. Funny and clever<\/a> and a good shift from the bundles of money spent on prom.
7. Volunteering<\/a>, esp by the unemployed, is up at non-profits.
8. Will you be using Kosmix<\/a>?
9. Memory<\/a> … fascinating stuff.
10. What kind of cook are you<\/a>?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sports:<\/div>\n

\"BigELew.jpg\"<\/span>The greatest rivalry I’ve seen in NCAA basketball, even more than Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, was between Lew Alcindor and the Big E. How many players in this picture can you name?<\/p>\n

I would rate Jim Thorpe and Babe Didrikson Zaharias<\/a> as the top two. Michael Jordan’s baseball days were anything but spectacular. Bo Jackson was better than Michael, but neither rivals Jim and Babe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
