I’ve been busy again this week and haven’t posted yet. I’ve spent some of my would-be posting time modifying a new template I found so that I could replace my old one. I grow tired of templates pretty quick, and have been trying to find time to locate a new one and modify it to my liking. I’m not completely happy with the new one (and plan to change the header graphic as I have time), but I like the change nonetheless. I’ll probably do it all over again in a few months. Until then, this is it.

Since I’ve got nothing else right now, here’s a look at a few of the things I’ve read this week:

• Mike Cope has posted today regarding the Time article “Does God Want You To Be Rich?,” and we should take heed of Mike’s last paragraph.
• Mark Elrod offers a few comments regarding what annoying talking head Sean Hannity is willing to die for. Hannity is speaking at Harding University tonight.
• Another politics-related post, this one from Greg Taylor, commenting on the dialogue between Jim Wallis and Ralph Reed over at God’s Politics blog.
• Jim Martin reflects on our generous God and different ways that we can reflect Him in our own generosity.
• And, rev-ed talks about his encounter with a wild animal and the mark of the beast.

On a sports-related note, nobody has ever accused Bob Knight of not speaking his mind. Knight fired a shot at Oklahoma this week, whose football team lost in a controversial game at Oregon last weekend. Oklahoma was clearly on the receiving end of a bad call (and continues to complain about it and has asked Oregon to forfeit the game.) Knight reminds everyone of a basketball game in 2003 in which Oklahoma benefited from an equally bad officiating screw up, winning a game over Knight’s Texas Tech team (and Knight’s subsequent request for OU to forfeit the game, which did not happen.) As Ted Striker once said, “I guess the foot’s on the other hand now.“
