no bugs yet

So, the experts declared that the cicadas would arrive yesterday. No bugs. Not yet. This is probably a good thing. Still, I am waiting for the bugs.

Ah well.

It's a beautiful day. It's 80+ degrees outside right now. I have lunch planned with one of the ladies of the church. That should be lovely. I've been looking forward to it.

You know, the Wednesday Linkage thing is fun. I enjoy pulling it together. Essentially, however, it is a list of the things I wish I had time to go into more completely. "New Monasticism" just fascinates me. AKMA is challenging one of the more radical anti-religion folk out there in his radio interview. The sermons are interesting. Tattoos are once again on the theological chopping block. Michael Westmorland-White does a great job beginning to collate Baptist theology. That is an effort started in some sense by McClendon, whom Michael mentions in his post. I love it. Good stuff.

Yeah. All of those subjects and more are worth my time. But I just don't have the energy right now. I have the energy to muse privately. And I guess that will have to do.

Y'all have a good day. I have lunch, a meeting and then another meeting tonight. It should be a good one by the time it's all over.

Pax!

Thanks for the comment. I have read the Bass (plural) stuff. I like it, but not totally enthralled by it. It has a touch of fluff that I cant quite put my finger on it - perhaps it doesnt properly express the voluntary principle of religion like I would like them to.

Primary reason for a comment: How 'bout an action shot of you dunking on the 8footer!
