Thinking Bloggers 2007 | One Top Five List

Robin recently tagged me for a “Thinking Blogger” meme, which I was very thankful to recieve, especially from someone like Robin, who I personally look up to.

Re: The Daily Scribe Has Been Retired

This post is long overdue but the Daily Scribe religious blogging community has been retired. What is written below is part of an email I recently sent to everyone who participated in the Daily Scribe project.

Dress Down Friday June 22 | The Green Edition

Here’s another edition of dress-down Friday. This week I wanted to focus on green issues, and let me forewarn you: this is somewhat intense.

London, the Olympics and Getting Rid of the Poor

I read this article today in the Guardian and thought it was worth pointing out.
