Our Common Prayerbook 30 - 3
Psalm 30 thanks God (vv. 1-3, 11-12) and exhorts others to thank God (vv. 4-5). Both emerge from the concrete reality of David's own experience. Here is what that experience looks like:Step one: David was set on high and was flourishing at the hand of God's bounty (v. 7a).Step two: David became too

Theology After Darwin 1 (RJS)
One of the more important and more difficult pieces of the puzzle as we feel our way forward at the interface of science and faith is the theological implications of discoveries in modern science. A comment on my post Evolution in the Key of D: Deity or Deism noted: ...this reminds me of why I get a

Almost Christian 4
Who does well when it comes to passing on the faith to the youth? Studies show two groups do really well: conservative Protestants and Mormons; two groups that don't do well are mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics. Kenda Dean's new book is called Almost Christian: What the Faith of Ou

Let's Get Neanderthal!
The Cave Man Diet, or Paleo Diet, is getting attention. (Nothing is said about Culver's at all.) The big omission, I have to admit, is that those folks were hunters -- using spears or smacking some rabbit upside the conk or grabbing a fish or two with their hands ... but that's what makes this diet

Well Scot,
You didn’t ask for comments – or reflections, but I will add one anyway.
I am profoundly thankful for the conversation that you maintain on this site, for the intellectual integrity, the interaction, and the civility. It is a life saver for me.
I am thankful for those who comment and make me think things through carefully – especially Michael and David and John and many more. I am particularly thankful for those who interact with me on my posts – it has made me much better at expressing the integration of science, intellectual life, and faith…pds and Dan and Matthew are high on the list here, even though we often or almost always disagree. I am thankful for the authors who take the time to get involved.
Differing views are welcome as long as expressed rationally and respectfully. It isn’t always easy to maintain the high level, but this site is far more successful than most, and that takes time and effort.
Thanks… and Happy Thanksgiving.

RJS,
Many thanks to you from me, from Kris and from all our readers for what you bring to this blog. You have stimulated all of us and made sure we stick to the facts and to what can be shown and to cut out the nonsense. You’ve been a delight for all these years. Thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and to yours this day.

RJS, I share your profound thankfulness. I too have found this blog, and you Scot, and the posters here (which includes you RJS, and David, and John, and Jim, and, and, and…) to be a life saver. But for me, it has also been a game changer. My walk with Christ has been greatly enriched, and dramatically deepened. I found my way here in an incredibly dark fog. I cannot imagine what the journey would have been like these last years without the fruit of this community.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good night.

I have enjoyed keeping up with your blog, as best as possible. I want to offer a short reflection on Thanksgiving and Desmond Tutu’s description of ubuntu for those who are interested.
