ugh, what’s up with this weather?
I’m going to vent here because anytime I mention it to my husband he acts like a dork. It’s been consistently in the mid-high 70s here - and it’s almost NOVEMBER! The average for this time of year is 50s and we’ve only been there a few times. It depresses me, esp. since I have to [...] Related posts:

Beyond the Atheism-Religion Divide
You’ve got to listen to the most recent episode of “Speaking of Faith”. Tippett is speaking with Dr. Harvey Cox, a professor and theologian at Harvard and there is so much good stuff in there. At around 38 minutes he starts talking about the “religion of the market” or the market as god and his [...] Related posts:

art, incarnation and artifact
Emergent Gathering reflections 5 (and final) I participated in a conversation at the Gathering about art and creativity and all that “stuff”. Needless to say it was a very popular discussion. We sat on the little “pier” that extends out into the pond at the conference center. David attended a discussion about cohorts and I had [...] Related posts:

Emergent incarnates hope & dangerous dreams

There is almost a grieving process and then having to work through [...] Related posts:

NOW THAT oughta net me some click throughs Trust me, it’s relevant. My wonderfully creative husband wrote a great post about, of all things, cussing. I used to say things like, “Darn it, Fudge, Dang, Shoot” or “Golly Gee Beave!” Now I am free to leave censorship aside. I am not only free to watch [...] Related posts:
