The Blogdom of God
Adrian Warnock's UK Blog has started something....
A new Alliance has been forged. The God Blogs have begun to unite. This potentially formidable force is rallying aroung the banner of 'The Blogdom of God'. Although now a small alliance, which could be seen to be like a mustard seed, will it grow as in the parable to be a large tree that birds can nest in?
People can particpate in the Blogdom of God by linking to us, being included in the aggregator, or by being included in the Blogdom of God Alliance at the Ecosystem.
There are now no explicit conditions to any of this- anyone can join the alliance and there is nothing you need to do to qualify other than self-identify as a God Blog
To Join the Blogdom of God visit Adrian Warnock's UK Blog for more information or email Adrian at adrian@warnock.info
Wow! What an Incredible Athlete
Brett Favre! A career game! The day after the death of his father. A remarkable athlete!
22/30 passing. (Highest of his career!) 399 yards! (311 in the first half.) 4 touchdowns.
Christmas Shopping
Haven't done a lot of it. But walked through the Mall this afternoon and evening. Was actually pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere (although not the traffic.) People seemed relatively relaxed. The workers in a number of the stores were very pleasant. Perhaps the season has its effects.
The Greatest Generation
Went to a funeral for the father of a friend today. He was 96 years old and a veteran. Watching the American Legion and VFW members who were there for the honor guard, I was struck by their age. The "commander" had to hand his cane to one of the others before he folded the flag. The greatest generation is leaving us. Time magazine honors this generation's men and women this week. Regardless of one's opinion of war -or even the current war- the men and women who answer the call to service in the military deserve the honor and respect. Some of us did not do that for various reasons. Conscience, luck of the draw, whatever. But they have given us the ability to live in a country that we pray will continue to have the freedom to disagree and still work together for the freedoms we cherish.
Now I Feel Warmer!
LT has posted good news. The days are now getting longer in Sakatoon (and Minneapolis as well, I assume.) But what realy struck me was:
December isn't a particularly cold month in winter. The average high for this day is -9 degrees. In January our average high will be around -15 degrees. Many days are warmer than that. The average is offset by the very cold. [Emphasis mine]
Of course that is Celsius (I assume!) It sounds so much better to say +15 (-9) or +5 (-15). Why here in Minnesota our average never gets that low! ;>)RSS Back, I Think
Not being as much of a geek as I like to think I am, I I have restored the Blogmatrix RSS link to the right there. I don't know if it does anything or how it works, but if it saves me from moving to Moveable Type until they get version 3.0 out, that's fine. Anyone with information about whether it works or what I need to do, please feel free to let me know.
Huh?
And finally, I just checked the site meter and noticed that I had over 115 visits today. Huh? That's the first time since these wanderings began back in March. And I don't think I even talked about sex. Maybe it was the Orange Alert information, the NFL post, or, really out-of-left-field- the Moravians in Old Salem. Now that I have not too subtley added some of these words back in again, and included sex (twice), we'll see what happens. Good night.
