Weekend Wanderings

Last week Jan and I were in Los Angeles visiting our daughter, Jennie. We went to a party on a roof overlooking Hollywood, hiked in a canyon, saw some blue whales and dolphins, went to a Mexican market in downtown LA, and attended a street festival. I even learned to drive in LA traffic. We had a wonderful time, and it was hard to leave. But, leave we did, coming back to the 95-100 degree temperatures here in the sunny South.

Here are the best of the links I've seen this week:

Non violence (HT: Arthur Sido).

Alan Knox has a poem.

When dreaming of something new... (HT: Scot McKnight).

The soap opera continues (HT: iMonk).

Is it better?

This was the Grand Prize Winner in the Philips sponsored constrained cinema competition "Tell It Your Way". The entrants were restricted to six lines of dialogue, "What is that?," "It's a unicorn," "Never seen on up close before," "Beautiful," "Get away, get away," "I'm sorry." (HT: Josh)

Gus vs. pool.

We're not the only ones who have a hard time believing God answers prayer.

Equipped for what?

Spare the son.

Thoughts on women in society from Emily Timbol.

Princess or priest?

Wayward Son on fitting the need.

Good post from Alan Knox.

Accountability requires community.

Chaplain Mike's view of Scripture.

I Liked Jesus Better Then part 5.

An iMonk classic.

Wow.

I hope you have a restful weekend.
