Blogs You Should Be Reading

As hard as it may be to believe, during my lengthy hiatus, there were many others doing a lot of thoughtful and interesting writing worth reading and engaging. Two of the standouts are Dave Opderbeck and Joel Garver.

Here is Joel Garver on the human condition - the unavoidable depth of our plight and glorious extent of our hope. Also, for us American Protestants who don't acknowledge any of the eventful days on the Christian calendar other than Christmas and Easter (preferring days established by Hallmark and our federal government), Joel reflects on Pentecost through a question we often pose to children, "what do you want to be when you grow up?", and on the relationship of Jesus' transfiguration to the horrors of war.
