A few links on an overcast, rainy day (our third in a row, which I’m loving):
- Megan is finishing up her music discussion week (one more song tomorrow), so check out the lyrics and leave a comment; everybody’s doing it
- At least somebody at the New York Times gets it regarding Eliot Spitzer (and men in general – “bromance” anyone?):
“Every society produces its own distinct brand of social misfits, I suppose, but our social structure seems to produce significant numbers of people with rank-link imbalances. That is to say, they have all of the social skills required to improve their social rank, but none of the social skills that lead to genuine bonding.”
- The alpha version of the Logos Bible software for Mac is finally available; a friend had given me a complete license for the PC platform when I started seminary, but Logos is (thankfully) allowing free switchovers
- Buy Blue-Weathered Dreams from my friend Caleb Travers and his band Big City Lights (think Eddie Vedder sings Tom Petty in an alt country kind of way); favorite song: “Brokedown Palaces”
- I always think of Genesis 11 when I read stuff like this. How high do we go?

Craig,
The story of Dubai is amazing. Just 15 years ago the place was desolate. I actually used Burj Dubai as an illustrating introduction to a sermon I preached last semester on Genesis 11. I thought it was a good story to open with, but it lacked a personal account I guess because it didn’t go over well. Anyway, I thought it was a fascinating story and wanted to talk about this structure. Nice pictures on that link!
So yesterday, I was having a conversation with the Young Adult/College Pastor in my church, when I looked at his desk, and lo and behold! A Twentysomeone book just sitting there.
He said that when he read it, he felt like he was a having a conversation with you guys.
Good Show!
