a little meta magic for your morning
AKMA needs to re-explore his allegiances. It is sad but true. Duke is the Devil according to some. And from their own words, I am beginning to think that the Devils are all Calvinists. They are bound to win again? Predestination abounds! Number one in their bracket? They are Elect! Is AKMA a Calvinist? Hmmmm.
Amy Butler is a groupie. But does Hillary Duff know of her comparison?
Get Religion has posted more entries that are worthy of attention than I can link to right now. But here are two. One is about what happens to churches that don't make enough money. The other is about doctrine and Iraq. We fret, hem and haw about sectarian violence. But does anyone remember why Rhode Island exists? I will bite my tongue here. But read about Obadiah Holmes.
Cliff has a very informative post on the development of monasticism and how it can still speak to us. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day. You should be wearing your green, praying for the snakes and remembering the monasteries he founded.
Pastor Larry has posted a review of sorts about Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller.
The Tentmaker has posted this sermon. It was written for his mother-in-law's funeral. It is wondrous. Bring your tissues. Peace and all good things be to you and your family, Tentmaker.
Also, here are a couple of links to other sermons. The Sacristan+ has provided a powerful reflection on what it means to carry your cross. Pastor Larry wants us to know a little more about encountering God.
Finally, stay tuned for the weather. We may get some snow. It is still winter after all. I moved the image of Michigan Ave to this post. It changes every few minutes. It is a live camera from WGN.
