TGIF

We had one fairly warm day here in the sunny South, but the rest of the time it's been colder than normal. According to the Farmer's Almanac, this winter will be colder and wetter than normal. I believe they might be right. The basketball team I coach is undefeated. I know it's only two games, but still.... We play tonight, so we'll see what happens.

Here's the good stuff:

Statistics and mustard seeds.
Interesting question.
Karl Barth meets the emerging church.
This is good.
Re: Tiger Woods.
Have you ever felt like this?

Is Advent Biblical? (HT: also Scot McKnight)

Have a blessed weekend and a good third Sunday of Advent.
