Thursday, May 25, 2006. We Are All Witnesses. One of my FYS colleagues this year is a Rel. Studies professor, young, hip and very considerate of students' various perspectives. His section is called "Sport as Religion and Religion as Sport." Don't you imagine that it will be over-subscribed? Http:/ www.nike.com/nikebasketball/usa/? I'd say they are fodder for his FYS discussion, wouldn't you? Posted by Barb @ 10:19 AM. Sunday, May 21, 2006. At Ruberad’s request, I am reflecting on what I have learned fro...

Monday, October 31, 2005. Signs of the Season. On my way to the downtown postoffice this morning before work (note to self: try to avoid the postoffice at 8:30 am on Mondays from now on), I noticed that the annual Christmas banners are now hanging from the lightposts on Wooster's main streets. Today is Halloween. Hmm. What about Thanksgiving? I know that the stores anticipate the seasons, but the town fathers and mothers? Posted by Barb @ 1:59 PM. Friday, October 28, 2005. Putting the Garden to Bed.

Friday, September 30, 2005. Do you see why I am still floating on air? The magical thing we call education happened in class and out of class. Important ideas, thoughtful and wonderful people- does it get better than this? I had been ready to follow up on A's presentation with a shortened version of a talk IVP editor Jim Sire used to give called "Why Should Anyone Believe Anything at All? But there wasn't time.There's never enough time to do everything that needs to be done! Posted by Barb @ 1:28 PM.

Sunday, July 31, 2005. For a visual and visceral punch. Explore the journals of the 2005 Trekkers: www.urbana.org/feat.trek.home.cfm.

Saturday, April 22, 2006. How I Got Rushdie's Autograph. By standing in line in front of the signing table, of course. But there's more story to it than that. Abda-Hayy Moore. That's more poetry than I usually have in a year, and you'll notice the diversity of faith traditions. A totalitarian society will control that power and exercise it to kill anyone who disagrees. A free society shares that power with everyone. (As someone summed up today, at heart Rushdie is just a liberal American! Karen and I hav...

Saturday, March 25, 2006. Updates, Baby-hugging Tour and Wierd Winter. Remember my speculation about the state of spring after the wierdly-warm January? We have great remembrances of swaths of redbud along the GA and NC (in particular) and VA roads though to carry us through. We don't even dream about redbud here until May. Posted by Barb @ 8:35 PM.
