• Showing off more of our bougainvilleas on our condo lanai -- trying to brighten up the concrete neighborhood.• It's good to see that the Swedes are interested in Jesus again (more or less) ~ Link
• "Jesus: The Guantanamo Years" -- a discussion starter (see the Swedes above) ~ Link
• You can double your MPG by hypermiling -- you can also get killed if you're drafting to do it. ~ Link
• An email sent out by the Emergent says that they're discontinuing the national Emergent Village Gathering. This was the granddaddy of the emerging church events.
All movements and organizations, whether loosely knit or highly structured, run their course. It may just be that this one, after seven years, was a little shorter than most. Now that everyone has emerged it may be time to move on to the next new thingy.
• The most polluted cities in the US ~ Link
• UNESCO, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, has put together an international portal of higher education institutions providing "information on the status of higher education institutions and quality assurance in these countries." So far they've collected information on Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Egypt, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, Nigeria, the UK, and the US. In a nutshell this portal provides an interface to access information about the accreditation (and credibility) of institutes, colleges, and universities in these countries. ~ Link
• 99,000 people die each year because of infections acquired in US hospitals ~ Link
• Why are so many evangelicals attracted to liturgical worship? It's about a deeper level of relevance says Mark Galli ~ Link
• Bishop Tom Wright's latest book deals with the debate over evangelism and good works. I'm not nearly as curious about the false dichotomy between these two areas as I am about how Wright manages to crank out so many books. It's a race between him and Scot McKnight. ~ Link
• I heard some US mainland newscaster reporting on the Guam Democratic caucus today. And he was speculating that the 90 degree heat might keep some people from turning out to vote. He didn't know what he was talking about. It wasn't a degree over 89 today. But, of course, it's pretty much 88 or 89 degrees every day -- 365 days a year! And it's not unbearable hot -- especially at this time of the year when we have tradewinds -- and when we've got power to run the air con. It only sounds hot.
