Thanks for pointing to my blog’s third birthday (as well as the links to the other posts.) I did find the links placement side by side with someone who can actually spell a bit ironic. Great YouTube clip.

Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that???s precise, predictive and reliable ??? a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.
Nice article by Greene ??? there is more to life than “science” but he captures the attraction well. One of the hardest parts in teaching is to communicate the understanding and wonder when the students want the facts, the method, and the answers to the test.
Interesting to reflect on this in our approach to Christian faith as well ??? the wonder, the coherence, the story should trump the dogma, as teaching the former gets us, eventually, to the latter in a much more powerful fashion.

And … on the article on the first coed infiltration at Michigan. When we realize that this was only 150 years ago – it is amazing how much has changed, and perhaps not so surprising that there are still kinks to iron out.

I think we brought the You*Tube clip down! Too many Creed HITS?

…it’s back.

Scot,
May we use your pictures for PowerPoint at our church?

For Roger Moran, a lay Baptist leader in Missouri, being theologically conservative but culturally liberal could put evangelicals on the path to sin.
I know that Moran has long opposed the Journey and other such emerging/neo-evangelical churches, but did he really say it like that?
oh, and the spelling bee video? WONDERFUL! i’m stealing it.
always a pleasure to read the Meanderings.

I did get to see ???The Life Before Her Eyes??? last month in it???s here-and-gone appearance in Chicago. I have to say that I found myself being somewhat angry about the ending while at the same time feeling like, ???Wow, this movie just messed with my head!??????sort of like ???The Sixth Sense??? did for me. I want to see ???The Life Before Her Eyes??? again now that I know the ending. I???m sure I???ll view the entire movie differently in light of knowing it!
I think I would have to agree with you about it being somewhat of a dream where the mature woman never existed and about it sending the message that ???abortion is as senseless and murderous as a murderous rampage by a high school kid???. Not only did it show that an abortion had taken place, I found it interesting that the girl who had the abortion viewed a memorial showing small white crosses with names on them all over a church yard representing aborted babies. Not only that, she focused on one with the name of her own child she supposedly had as an adult. Yeah, there was an abortion in this movie, but it seemed to be portrayed as the terrible act that it is. I find it at least a tiny bit encouraging that movie industry is beginning to show abortion in this light or wonderful alternatives like adoption (such as in ???Juno”). It may go no further than this, but in today’s society, we’ll take what we can get!

The tulips! Glorious.
