Well, the post title (Shelving our Scotties) grabbed me initially, but L.L. Barkat, the author of this HighCalling.org post, suggests something I don’t remember hearing before: that just because God has given me a gift, I’m not obligated to use it, now … or ever?
This has some relevance for one of the many holes [...]

I should really offer this without comment. I love and adore the idea and have signed up for the email list. I may even participate in a project. But the idea of organizing one has tapped into all my [...]
I’ve read that all that is necessary to form a club is someone to keep out. Milton of Don’t Eat Alone reflects on Jesus’ ability to turn that notion on its head, as He did so many others:

Via Crooks and Liars (via Street Prophets), a brief review from Bob Edwards’ blog (man, I still miss that guy on Morning Edition) of a book entitled Just How Stupid Are We?: Facing the Truth about the American Voter. Some key statistics from the review:

My spouse asked me yesterday what I thought of the recent discovery of a Hebrew stone tablet, dated well before Jesus’ time, that references a messiah figure being resurrected after three days. I don’t think that the spousal intent was to rattle my cage, exactly, but it may have had more than a little [...]
There’s a church in my neighborhood, run along fairly fundamentalist lines by a guy who always seems to me to be looking for a fight. (With evil, I’m sure, but I suspect he sees evil in places where it might not be.) Anyway, they just hung a banner that reads, “If you want [...]
Had a chance to play with a copier sized, paper, wood, some plastics laser cutter today. Just the (tens of thousands $) toy I always wanted. Oh to have had access in my preteen scratch model building days….
