I was interested in watching the reactions to the debate the other night. No, I didn’t watch it, so I’m not going to give any opinion about who won or lost, or who was right. But in the blogs to which I subscribe I found two posts that were very interesting to me. The questions…
I generally read Adrian Warnock’s blog because his theology is so glaringly different from my own that I think there’s a certain amount of community accountability that results just from forcing myself to read and consider his viewpoint. (Sorry, Adrian, but that’s how it is!) But today he pointed me to a new tool from…
Just to be honest, I probably would have in any case. Tony from Thoughts from the Heart on the Left tagged me with the meme created by L. L. Barkat, so here goes, as I break rules. I’m going to copy the rules from Tony’s post rather than the original, just to be a bit…
. . . will be at Metacatholic, and he is calling for submissions as comments to the post I’m linking right here.
I found this humorous story from the Lark via Shuck and Jive. It’s humorous, I think, because it strikes close to home even though it’s exaggerated. I make two serious points out of this.

I should just call the title a post and go on! But I won’t. The title and post came to me as I read Stupid Bible Tricks #1, and empathized. I recall one occasion when a speaker who was aware that i read Greek, and knew I had my Greek testament in front of my…
Up, folks, always up. Those who know me as a moderate (which I prefer) or as a liberal (which I am often called) may be surprised to know that I started my political activism by working in the campaign of Ronald Reagan in 1976 when he ran against Gerald Ford. It was the first presidential…
That’s mixed feelings about health care and feelings about a mixed system of health care, in case you were wondering. I’ve expressed my ambivalence about health care previously. While I hope for an ideal situation in which a certain level of health care is available to everyone regardless of ability to pay, I also want…
I hope that this topic gets more attention before the election. Christine has some thoughts here and I share many of her concerns and those expressed in the referenced article.
