A La Carte (07/26)

Wednesday July 26, 2006

Blog: Two days after I wrote about encouragement, my biggest little sister experiences just such a moment. It’s a great story.

Weird: Someone sent me a link to a new online finger meditation tool. You got it! It’s a mini labyrinth courtesy of Grace Cathedral, a Lutheran church in San Francisco.

Alcohol: The Thirsty Theologian continues his excellent and widely-lined series on alcohol. He is the flavor of the week in the Christian blogosphere! “In this installment, I will bring Scripture to bear on the assertions I have made. To systematically go through every mention of wine or strong drink in Scripture is a long and tedious process. I know, I’ve done it. I won’t bore you with every one of them. The comments to this post will be the place to bring up passages that you believe I have overlooked or avoided. I will attempt to answer objections in a later post.”

Warren: Jollyblogger (wait, didn’t I link him yesterday?) posts a post-mortem on last week’s article criticizing Rick Warren for teaching Jewish people how to evangelize.
