Picking the very best of this week’s stories for you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Ostriches.jpg\"<\/span>A Judge questions the no-fault divorce<\/a> policy and wants to do something about it. A writer questions the sanity of her dog <\/a>and has done something about it. Christine questions Andrew Sullivan’s criticisms of Sarah Palin<\/a> and does something about it. Her father was killed in Viet Nam<\/a> and this stuff is deeply personal. Gospel — and an offer<\/a>. Missional thinking <\/a>and someone who is doing something about it.<\/p>\n

Frank Beckwith explains the Pope’s newest encyclical<\/a>, and we will be having a conversation about it on this blog soon.<\/p>\n

\"MarkTwain.jpg\"<\/span>I’m a huge fan of Mark Twain, and here’s my request for you to drop a donation<\/a> to the preservation of his Boyhood Home and Museum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m seeing much more of this too<\/a>. Sometimes at the point of hubris.<\/p>\n

I hope more churches will commit to doing a series like this one at Vintage Church<\/a>. (via Twitter) Cobus<\/a> compares extremes. (via Twitter) Great image from Dave Diller <\/a>at Renovate. (via Twitter)<\/p>\n

Tweet of the Week (from Tom Ward): “Once heard a preacher say that a sleepless night is a call to prayer. Sometimes a sleepless night is a reminder to order decaf next time.”<\/p>\n

Codex Sinaiticus online<\/a>. Ancient genome mapping<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Open source implications<\/a>. Future implications<\/a> with the iMonk. Sacred space implications<\/a>. Unfazed implications<\/a>. FB implications<\/a>. Slavery’s implications<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Journalism and narcissism<\/a>. (HT: cas)
2. Ubersnoring<\/a>.
3. Google’s Chrome OS<\/a> … does this have promise for Macs or are we still ahead of the crowd?<\/p>\n

\"Frapp.jpg\"<\/span>4. The worst drinks<\/a> for your health. (HT: MV via Twitter)
5. What explains this relentless criticism of Palin<\/a> by Maureen Dowd?
6. Then compare Dowd with the brilliance of Brooks<\/a>. That guy knows how to offer social commentary.
7. Should we celebrate Muslim holidays<\/a>? I like Leith Anderson’s comments.
8. The best books for kids<\/a>: Nicholas Kristof.
9. The Bush Doctrine vs. The Obama Doctrine: Jonah Goldberg<\/a> heats up.
10. Justice Ginsburg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sports<\/p>\n

We were here yesterday!<\/div>\n
