Rise Above Plastics
I am not as good as I ought to be on this, but I would encourage everyone as the new year starts to consider some of these issues.
Considering Myths about Community
With community being the new buzzword in Christianity, it is time for us to consider some of the “myths” surrounding the word.
White Privilege
I like Jason’s Definition here where he says: “it’s like riding a bike in the wind. I like to ride my bike around town and I started to notice that there were days I felt great about my ride because I was zipping along and feeling like, yeah, I’m workin’ it today. And then I’d notice a flag flying or someone huffing it out going the other way and I’d realize I’m not feeling any wind because I’m sailing along with it. And that’s what White Privilege is: an invisible wind at my back that aids my journey, amplifies my efforts, and of which I can remain happily unaware until I start trying to go the other way.”
Easy Way to Learn Greek
This book recommendation comes from Jeff. I may buy this book if I have leftover money after Christmas.
Is Obama a Reincarnation of Cold War Liberalism?
I found this article extremely helpful and put words to what I was already feeling (HT: Matt).
Technology After Google
This sounds like an interesting Conference. I would like to go. Tony also talks about using google wave as a sermon preparation tool (p.s. leave a comment if you are just aching for a google wave invite, I have 19 left to give out).
The Advent Conspiracy Fad
While I don’t agree entirely with Jim’s tone, I agree with his sentiment.
Danny is a credentialed social science teacher in California, but is especially interested in students with special education (always the person first and the disability second). He is pursuing his education specialist credential at Cal State Northridge with help from President Obama who has given lots of money to teachers in residency willing to work for three years in Title 1 Schools. Please know that his thoughts are always forming and are subject to change at a moment's notice.
