Pastor, I did pull up my chair and hold my warm cup of coffee up to my cheek, and did bask in the glow of your wonderful assortment of links.
Nora is one cool cat. Would her music be considered Aleatoric Music? She is almost as wonderful and cool as my cat Yodi, a cat-vocalist (she chirps, trills, yow-yows, etc.), who greets me politely each morning After the alarm clock rings, and leans against my ankle, sleepily blinking at me for some time while I drink my morning coffee. Yodi, of the tribe of tiger, inspires me to contemplate our Creator. I wonder why there are no references to domesticated cats in the Bible? Does anyone have a theory? Were there house cats in the Holy Land in Bible times?
Jeremy Casella’s essay on “Christian Speak” was just so uplifting, and just, oh so convicting, and just…I,just, agree with his sentiments. I so dislike hearing the word “just” used in prayer, which happens repeatedly it seems in almost every non-liturgical Christian prayer. I become distracted when I hear the word “just” uttered repeatedly in a prayer, and veer rapidly from being in a state of prayerfulness to being irritated. It is a good thing that salvation is by the grace of the Lord, because even in prayer I am an irritable soul. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Brent:

Good stuff as always. Thanks for posting the Ben Witherington blog. Interesting stuff. We are hosting Rob at UCLA, along with Zondervan, NOOMA, Flannel and Borders on March 8th. Should be an interesting night.

Brent,

I just wanted to tell you that I am always appreciative of your efforts to highlight my blog on your excellent one.

I feel like the Weekly Town Crier is an exercise in humility on your part.

Thanks again for serving your weaker blogging brother!
