I have been updating what I hear on this blog (one of which is published today, Saturday, 11 Feb.)<!--more|inline--><br \/>\n1. Good story of the week: Mark Wilson re-opened the doors of a closed church. <a href=\"http:\/\/revitalizeyourchurch.blogspot.com\/2005\/12\/christmas-eve-in-abandoned-church.html\">Read about it here<\/a>.<br \/>\n2. I remember when Betty Friedan, who died this week, was the center of cultural  controversy. From Peoria, IL, she didn&#8217;t play well there at one time. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2006\/US\/02\/04\/friedan.obit.ap\/index.html\">Story of her life here<\/a>.<br \/>\n3.

Question: Do you and your spouse share e-mail access? <a href=\"http:\/\/spearszacharias.bravejournal.com\/entry\/16620\">Karen&#8217;s<\/a> got a good post on this. (We share ours.)<br \/>\n7. How do you renew yourself? Read <a href=\"http:\/\/daddyroblog.blogs.com\/daddyroblog\/2006\/02\/renewal.html#comments\">Fr. Rob Merola&#8217;s <\/a>nice post. Leave a comment, and tell him I sent you; one of my all-time favorite students. (He used to baby-sit for our kids; he fell in love with one my best Greek students, whose scores dipped that semester but her eyes were full of life &#8212; which Greek just can&#8217;t do for many.)<br \/>\n8. Who&#8217;d be <a href=\"http:\/\/purgatorio1.com\/?p=204#comments\">the evolutionary apex <\/a>for you?<br \/>\n9. Thanks <a href=\"http:\/\/www.subversiveinfluence.com\/wordpress\/?p=568\">Brother Maynard<\/a>, for reminding us of one of the 20th Century&#8217;s great Christians: Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I&#8217;ve been trying to get glasses like Bonhoeffer for years.<br \/>\n10. Was I <a href=\"http:\/\/purgatorio1.com\/?p=207\">separated from birth <\/a>from these guys?
