When this big fella came by for Trick or Treat,
we gave him our pumpkin!
It has been a grey, cloudy, cold week here at the Jesus Creed blog, the World Series plodded along with yet one more trophy for the bad guys, and here in Chicago the hopes are beginning to heat up for next summer's Cubs season, though some oddsmakers find better chances for John Kerry and Sarah Palin.

In 5 years, what will cyberspace and the internet look like? (HT: TS)
1. Greenhouse gasses and their unlikely sources.
3. Anyone there? Anyone see? Anyone know? (HT: MC)
4. Bob Greene on time ...: "One day we were walking down city streets making eye contact with each other, taking in the local scenery, and the next we were staring at the screens of our hypnotic phones, receiving real-time messages and breaking-news updates from people hundreds of miles away. It was a tradeoff we didn't exactly ask for. Yes, the concept of distance was all but erased -- but so, in a way, was the concept of place. We were sold the notion that we could be anywhere, with the tap of a key. What we only gradually began to recognize was that, by being everywhere, sometimes it felt like we were nowhere."

A good weekend for our NCAA football teams: Iowa wins, Illinois wins (beats UMich), and Northwestern wins (well, they were winning when I wrote this).

Baseball has been in bed since the first post season series.
As to women's basketball ...
University of Wisconsin Green Bay of course. Eleven straight league titles - in the women's NCAA tournament 12 of the last 15 years. Oh yeah - and my niece is playing for them this year.
Reading the comments on Pete Enns' wise post is depressing, and many comments sections on BioLogos are worse.
Whenever I see the frequent unedifying comments that seem common on that blog, I am thankful for the (usually) constructive and gracious community here at JesusCreed.
We will keep track of your niece at UWGB here from Milwaukee...and it's now HUG A BOILERMAKER DAY!!! Way to go Purdue at the Big House!
NO defense...
AHH,
I agree - I read but don't comment because of the tone in comments. But it is work and walking a fine line to keep the tone here.
"...here in Chicago the hopes are beginning to heat up for next summer's Cubs season"
And here in Minneapolis the displaced Cub fans have their hopes and dreams properly engaged.
