Hout Bay near Cape Town.
Memories: little Lucca, Theo and Wilma, three young African women
emerging from the waters singing from the depth of their hearts,
and a good Sauvignon Blanc with our fish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Must read and must see<\/a>. And with it: Redefining beauty<\/a> by Laurie Russell. A gift called change<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Jeff Borden<\/a>, at iCrucified, has a splendid review of my Fasting<\/i> book. Our friend, Jim Martin<\/a>, had his blog hacked this week — but he lost not a thing. Karen on Poe<\/a> (not the Edgar Allen kind). Mark Roberts <\/a>on your kids and the Twilight books. On education in color<\/a> by Christine Scheller. <\/p>\n

\"CrossCrowd.jpg\"<\/span>Daniel Kirk<\/a> completes a four-part series on NT ethics as shaped by the cross. Maira Kalman’s newest<\/a>. Owen Youngman pointed me to a fascinating new study on Twitter<\/a>. The impact of Stan Grenz<\/a> in Australia and New Zealand. (HT: TSK) Speaking of influence … Erika got her Bible when she was 13<\/a>.  Pete Enns and Bruce Waltke<\/a> — the debate is now complete. Katangole and the future of Africa<\/a> — a review by Andrew Perriman. Next time, buy a Mac<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ReSurgence is starting a seminary (Re:Train)<\/a>. Speaking of training, check out the report on Michael Kruse’s site<\/a> about Sawa. All I have to say is Eugene<\/a> and you’re know you’re in for something here.<\/p>\n

The need to compromise to achieve our deeper goals — a short piece by Seth Godin<\/a>. (HT: BL) Will you be (Google) Waving<\/a>? And who can tell us about Bing.com<\/a>? How are journalists<\/a> using social media? On which blog platforms<\/a> folks are using.<\/p>\n

Andy Rowell<\/a> lists his top blogs (thanks Andy), and I agree with him on the value of the Out of Ur<\/a> blog. And here’s one of my favorite blogs — iMonk <\/a>— and he’s always got some big ol’ conversation hoppin’. Good thoughts on work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mark’s getting the color of birds right<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And congratulations to Marilynne Robinson for the Orange award<\/a> (Home: A Novel<\/a>\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n

1 Jon and Kate Plus 8<\/a> deconstructed itself, and the plug needs to be pulled.
2. I’m still thinking about it — about Kindle<\/a>, that is. (HT: OY)
3. Herbert on Humanity<\/a>.
4. Good one by Bob Greene<\/a> — and one for pastors and parents.
5. Sotomayer and the racist charge<\/a>. And, as always, Brooks<\/a> has a sound perception. Richard Lowry<\/a> is stronger in his protestations and Herbert<\/a> fights back.
6. The Tiller murder has drawn plenty of discussion<\/a>.
7. Obama under scrutiny for failing on promises for the gay and lesbian community<\/a>.
8. A movement that is slowing down helicopter parenting<\/a>.
9. Christian music is in recession<\/a>. Speaking of music<\/a>: “there is a growing body of clinical evidence suggesting that music can
\nplay a key role in aiding recovery or helping sufferers cope with a
\nbroad range of brain-based conditions.”
10. Hello hugging<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sports:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>Its now golf season for the Midwest — school’s out — and I’ve not even lifted my golf bag or begun to think of when to play. I love the grasses of golf courses, the slope of greens, a well-manicured sand trap, the ever-present challenge to hit the green in regulation, and the solid click of a well-hit iron. But … <\/p>\n

Need help with your sand shot around the green<\/a>?<\/p>\n

What’s with Soriano hopping when he makes a catch out in left field?<\/p>\n

And what’s with those weird golf pants on John Daly? (That’s good ol’ Ben Hogan to your right; Daly’s bright slacks are on all the golf sites.)<\/p>\n

And — for Todd Hiestand — why the hullabaloo about Danica talking about taking sports performance-enhancing substances? Is she in a sport?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
