I am obviously having technical difficulties.  I can see my header with my blog name only in Firefox.  I don't have the categories "widget" working.  I have no idea what's going on.  I don't like this new blo

Over at a blog that I just started reading and am enjoying, there was a contest for Ugliest Theologian.  Pope Benedict won.  Personally, I don't think he's ugly, but anyway, in the comments someone wrote: 

More Emma and a promise of Wright

For all my professions of love for The Wire, I've been watching it "On Demand" a day or two early in order that Sunday nights are free for all Jane Austen, all the time (Sundays at 8pm through April 6th).

We're special, so special...

Oh yeah, baby.  89-78.     

More on children and faith

I think the reason why the Newsweek article bugged me so much is that I'm struggling with church and bringing Brigid to church.  I've just about left my old Methodist church in town and started attending Church of Jesus Christ, Reconcile

Bad theology will hurt your kids

Hello all, how time flies, etc. etc.  I'm not really blogging again but I read this from Newsweek tonight and it's too horrible for me not to rant about.
