Could you tell that I’ve lost my passion for live blogging?  I’d forgotten to even write about Ed until this morning. :)
But I do have several things to offer.
First, Trevin Wax is here and is ready to challenge Timmy Brister for champ of the live blog.  Here are his notes on Ed’s presentation.
Also, here is [...]

If you had told me 3 years ago that I would be sitting, at Ronnie Floyd’s invitation, in his church listening to him, Johnny Hunt and Al Mohler talk about the SBC as being in decline and the need for us to deconstruct that which is complex and bulky to get to what is efficient [...]

Yep, I’m going.
I’m not sure if I’ll bother live blogging, but I might tweet.
If you are interested follow my twitter or the MissioScapes twitter feeds.
I’ll probably write a post event perspective for later in the week.

Interesting what this evangelical pastor has to say about the church’s involvement in the political process.  All three videos = just over 20 mins…

Interesting clash of ideologies among evangelicals.  I read one report where a man was calling for prayers for the new president to fail in his aspirations and agendas.

No id required.
*sigh*
No [...]

Many suppliers cut their margins to keep their products as close as normal when rising fuel costs increased the cost of everything.  For them, the fall of prices brings their margins back to [...]

Fascinating confluence of ideas and events in politics this last year, wouldn’t you say?  Tammy Bruce, a liberal feminist is for Sarah Palin’s nomination for what seems to be the reason Dr. Laura is against her.
RealClearPolitics – Articles – A Feminist’s Argument for McCain’s VP.
and
The Dr. Laura Blog – Sarah Palin and Motherhood
The most interesting [...]

I’ve heard it argued that to vote one’s Christian convictions, especially this year, the vote must not be cast for either of the two major party candidates that appear to have finally sewn up their party’s nomination.  We think.
