Imagine how big that New York City tree must be in Texas!
Busy week with the Zarley lectures and a trip to Boston ... so this is what I've got for Weekly Meanderings.
Westmont ... we are praying for you.
What is evangelicalism? Donald Dayton is one of the shrewdist observers of American evangelicalism and this interview is worth the time and effort.
How many of these do you know?
Is the "heaven" gospel a form of the "happiness" gospel? Read this excellent piece by John Ortberg.
But, still ... this story puts things in perspective.
You've got to love this post by Jim Martin. Michael Spencer's got it going with an open thread on the de-churching of America. When something positive comes out about megachurches we need to listen. The story of Mercy. Hope and Faith. Reading the Bible with Jesus. Marko's commuting. Karen on Kay Arthur's prophecy of famine.
Keep the gums clean.
1. How much is a spider drawing worth? Scroll down to read the exchanges.
2. Very nice summary of JR Briggs' deeply personal sermon about adoption.
3. Rob ... always has a good picture.
4. Jesus as a Soprano.
5. True-r than many will admit.
6. It's the Germans!
7. Women and technology: why the low numbers?
8. 4th and counting....
9. Garrison Keillor on snow shoveling.
Sports:
An all-too-common scene in the Bears-Packer game ... just outside the grasp...
Kerry Wood, a classy pitcher committed to the Cubs ... and now this ... there's something going on with this one. Wood says he's willing to come back for one year. If he is, sign him. But maybe the Cubs need that slot for the Notre Dame fella (whose name is hard to spell) to develop.
A coaching legend.

iMonk's post and the ensuing comments are fascinating. I found reading them a real education. So many different aspects of the problem are illustrated – from hypocrisy to style to individual spirituality to secularism to science to morality. Leave the church and the faith, leave the church, leave the faith …
I’ve been reading the letters of Cyprian lately, written during an intense persecution of the Church ca. 250 AD. These are precipitating some serious thinking on the nature of the Church as the body of Christ.
It seems to me that to fail to participate in, commit to, and even to some degree submit to, a local gathering of the body is to walk away from the faith.
cas,
Nice story about the tree.
And on sports -
A disastrous end to a disastrous season...
Ted - hope you enjoyed the OSU game.
I know of three of those albums. Both the Anberlin and House of Heroes albums have been burning through my headphones since August. And the Jon Foreman EPs are fantastically intimate. Lovely music!
The rest of them? Who knows.
regarding the Women in computer science article:
An interesting article, but I wonder if anyone has considered how a traditional CIS/Applied Math degree appeals or doesn't appeal to young women in terms of what motivates/inspires most women. The code-writer's life tends to be solitary and abstract. By and large, women are more motivated by relational impact. This is not to say that CIS/App Math doesn't have social/relational impact, but that level of involvement, I suspect, is not emphasized in entry level or even BS level course work.
I wonder if CIS was more integrated in applications that impact real people (Biomechanics? VR applications? Sociology/Statistics/Web research?) perhaps more women would be inspired to make thier impact in this field.
