Here are some things worth mentioning this morning.
David Kear has related a conversation about the Emergent movement and Calvinism.
Cathy has a list of books that "Kick Harry Potters Ass!" Dare we enter that conversation?
Mouthy Mom is sharing the benefits of weight loss. This post is rated PG.
Camassia is on her way to Chicago and points east. I am looking forward to meeting her. Though, I must confess, I will not be preaching this weekend at Reconciler. The rotation changed. Sorry, C!
G. Brooke is musing on finches. This is a neat little post that reminded me of summers back in Virginia. Then again, some days it seems like everything reminds me of Virginia.
Rev Ref and Susie have shared their sermons from this past Sunday with the rest of us. Give 'em a gander.
AKMA is reporting from the Ekklesia Conference. It should be interesting. He is also one of the scheduled speakers.
Today's "Best Rant Award" belongs to Spud. This is my favorite quotation. "Milkshakes are an art form and should be treated with the respect that deserves." Amen!
Finally, the "Most Surprising Quotation Award" goes to LL Cool P. "Goddammit, I miss Catholicism." Yes, even we flaming liberals need a little pushing around every so often. Well said, LL Cool P!
And here is a little poetry for your day.
always be openPosted by tripp at July 19, 2005 09:04 AM
e.e. cummingsmay my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are oldmay my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not youngand may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there's never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile
