Saturday Notes

5:35 p.m. -- current temperature in Turlock is 106° -- 18% humidity. Now we're cook'in.

Rick Lindholtz is directing our attention to a great song by Paul Baloche, All the Earth will Sing Your Praises.

Tom Wright on reasoned discourse in today's Guardian: Here again, contemporary culture lets us down. The hermeneutic of suspicion has become our default mode, encouraging us to lump issues into bundles and people into camps. It is much easier that way: it stops you having to think, or engage in real debate.

The Church desperately needs to learn once more the gentle art of reasoned discourse, of respectful engagement, of real debate. It is a better way to be Christian; it is a better way to be human. As Snoopy might have said, clarity ain't everything, but unclarity ain't anything.
