Saturday Afternoon Diversions

...because I need to write more blog posts to justify my purchase of MarsEdit...

"Contact": It's been a while since I've read Slacktivist, so I've got a ton of posts to catch up on for Left Behind Fridays. Still, Fred Clark has some interesting things to say about what PMD's think about that lost tribe in the Amazon people have been talking about lately.

"The War Prayer": I don't know what's happened to Lutheran Bob Gifford in the past month or so, but then again, I've kind of dropped off of the blogging radar myself. Anyway, Bob reminds us of what can happen when churches decide to beat their ploughshares into swords.

I've picked up the fantastic book Jesus for President, by Shane Claiborne and Chris Haw. I've openly started pimping it out to my friends, and like my earlier pimping of InternetMonk, I can already see my friends rolling their eyes, and smiling politely while they wonder about how much of a nutter I am. Not that they didn't do that before, mind you...
