With friends staying at our home, we departed the USA Wednesday so my links aren’t as bountiful as they might be, but there’s some good stuff here…<\/p>\n

Treasure this one<\/a>….<\/p>\n

Interview with AN Wilson<\/a>, who recently returned to the faith. (HT: JC via Twitter)<\/p>\n

A titan among NT scholars passes away: Martin Hengel.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s fun but it’s very, very serious stuff for many of us<\/a>. (HT: CB)
This is serious stuff<\/a> too.
And this too<\/a>. (HT: TH via Twitter)
One more serious one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LL Barkat<\/a> puts up poetic pieces all the time. iMonk always puts up good posts, and this one on internet spirituality<\/a> is special. Thanks Michael. Brett puts up good posts, too, and this one on Calvin<\/a> is good. Our friend Tom Smith<\/a> has a wonderful, deep reflection on the Lord’s Prayer in South Africa. Missio Lux, Tamara and missional living<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is the Christian life? Mark Roberts<\/a> starts a new series — follow it.<\/p>\n

Tweet of the week: my son “wonders when everything that is coincidence is now described as irony. Look up the definition of ironic, peeps; it’s not what you think!” (lukasmcknight)<\/p>\n

2d Tweet of the week: AndyStanley: “Sandra sent Allie and me grocery shopping with a list. I’m not really a list person. So we are pretty much following our appetite.”<\/p>\n

Great tweets in history.<\/a> (HT: JC via Tweetie)<\/p>\n

My favorite twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Well, maybe not<\/a>! Well, maybe it will (or close to it)<\/a>!<\/p>\n\"ProsperityG.jpg\"<\/form>\n

1. The prosperity gospel<\/a> examined.
2. The stimulus package<\/a> examined.
3. Calvin’s 500th, and this piece by Richard Mouw<\/a> puts it together for me.
4. Is this why we have the stimulus package<\/a>?
5. Some illegal immigrants return and struggle to re-assimilate<\/a>: good story.
6. I like this suggestion<\/a>.
7. The secret is not to care<\/a> — what do you think?
8. A balancing act about Francis Collins<\/a>, but the journalist is in Collins’ corner.
9. Low point of coverage this week: Dowd<\/a>, who has become obsessed.
10. Jane Roe <\/a>protests Sotomayer.
11. Finally, we have an explanation<\/a> to what ails us.<\/p>\n

Sports<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
We’re missing one of the best sports events of the year, The Open at Turnberry, so steal a few minutes for me!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\"Turnberry.jpg\"<\/form>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
