We miss Just Joeys, our bed and breakfast in Stellenbosch.

\"JustJoeyBack*.jpg\"<\/span>We missed reading our favorite blogs, so I’m way behind … here are some highlights for me this week:<\/p>\n

YSMarko<\/a> comes to its end — we enjoyed Marko’s blog over the years and will miss his regular communications with us. The family myth<\/a> … and some family wisdom. Karen <\/a>is either story-telling or preaching … or both. John<\/a> is too.  iMonk<\/a>‘s got it going again. Ed’s crossing boundaries<\/a>. And LL Barkat<\/a> is pondering … and so is Tamara<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"Origins.jpg\"<\/span>But The Origins Project<\/a> is just beginning, and Eric Bryant<\/a> is a core leader who is asking an old, but still relevant, question. So is Dan Kimball<\/a>. The beginning of cell phones<\/a> to the completion of cell phones. Is this the sign of the end of atheism<\/a>?<\/p>\n

True truth<\/a> is under scrutiny.  A San Diego Bible study<\/a> group is under scrutiny. Your unhappiness<\/a> is under scrutiny. Thin places under scrutiny<\/a>.

How do you discern a healthy theology from an unhealthy one? Check this post by Cobus<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The new discussion<\/a> about how to conceptualize the doctrine of Scripture, which has been played out some on this blog, revolves around not if<\/i> the Bible is authoritative, but how<\/i> that authority is to be understood and how that authority relates to our growing knowledge about texts, about history, about science, and about how the Bible as God’s Word works.<\/i> Alex McManus<\/a> tells his own story in the issue of Scripture.<\/p>\n

Good ideas about coming up with blog posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Shop.jpg\"<\/span>1. Best jobs during difficult financial times<\/a>.
2. Judge Sotomayor: The NYTimes view<\/a> and the National Review view<\/a>.
3. The Mormons are coming<\/a>!
4. Yes, indeed, bring back shop classes<\/a>.
5. Faith healing<\/a> — is it a form at times of child abuse?
6. Texting has some serious issues<\/a> — I confess the only time I “text” is during Faculty Meetings.
7. Three quick points<\/a> … three goofy memories for me.
8. Good piece on happiness<\/a>.
9. Kris and I both always read Thomas Sowell <\/a>when we see his pieces.
10. Brooks-y’s on a roll<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sports:<\/p>\n

Does anyone watch the NBA playoffs? (I call it 7 footers All Star Wrestling with a Ball.)<\/p>\n

It is so hard these days being a Cubs fan. I talked with a friend and I said, “The Cubs! What’s going on?” His response: “I can’t even watch them right now.” <\/p>\n
