One Year Bible Blog: March 14th readings

One Year Bible Blog: March 13th readings

Based on some of the comments I'm seeing in other OYB bloggers' posts, I'm not alone in falling behind. Not that it justifies it, of course. But it's good to know that I'm not the only one with failings. ;) I actually have been keeping up with the readings, but not with comments. I guess I'm taking this from an opportunity to learn and grow, and turning it into a chore.

Anyway, on to today's reading. The one verse that really jumped out to me today was Psalm 56:8:

You have kept count of my tossings;
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your record? (NRSV)

The image of God collecting all my sorrow and pain, rememering each one, better than I do myself, is comforting to me.

firedoglake: Action Steps for the Feingold "Censure Bush" Proposal

Apparently, this weekend, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), announced that he was going to introduce a proposal to censure the President over the warrantless wiretapping. The article linked above is a call to contact your senators, to let them know you support this resolution.

I cam across these two stories today

GOP moves to kill deal about the Dubai Ports World deal, and

It figures. The day I send out an email to everyone who has used BlogWatcher in the past, asking them to come check it out, I introduce some bugs into the code. Anyone who visited BlogWatcher between about 2PM and 8PM Central time probably saw some weird stuff going on.

The good thing is that it's fixed now, and no data was actually lost. It was just "missing in action" for a while. So the only thing I lost is my reputation. :(

'Gay' penguins book frozen out in Missouri libraries

The Carpetbagger Report » Blog Archive » The radical gay penguin agenda must be stopped

OK. So, apparently, a book has been removed from the children's section of a library because it tells the story of two male penguins who adopt an abandoned egg and raise the chick. This is apparently too close to encouraging homosexual behavior!

Presbyterian Bloggers: Theological Question of the Week

Which church would Jesus go to? Presbyterian? Catholic? Non-Denominational? Mormon? Or would Jesus join a church at all? What church would Jesus never step foot in?

Alan Hartung over at A Different Perspective has written a good article on objective vs subjective. I was going to write a comment there, but it got too long, so I decided to post it here instead.

Since I've been on something of a quest to be more "in touch" with myself, I decided to do one of these pop personality inventories. I don't know how much faith I put in it, but it might be interesting.
