I was hoping McKnight would put something up on his blog about Christianity and American patriotism on the 4th of July--no such luck. I was in Tennessee (just outside of Knoxville) and heard an interesting sermon; It made me want to reread "The Search for Christian America" by Mark Noll et al.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'll talk to you later Gordon.<BR/><BR/>AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163186.post-1152211431485340772006-07-06T13:43:00.000-05:002006-07-06T13:43:00.000-05:00Andy,Thanks for stopping by again. sorry I haven't...Andy,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by again. sorry I haven't responded for several days. I've been busy and unmotivated to write much of anything. Yeah, Beth and I have been having some good conversations. I'll try to get something up here about the what we've been talking about. I'm still processing a lot of it right now. <BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>GordonGordon Hackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342433273604253495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163186.post-1151777577495216202006-07-01T13:12:00.000-05:002006-07-01T13:12:00.000-05:00Gordon,My apologies for being a little slow in wri...Gordon,<BR/><BR/>My apologies for being a little slow in writing on your blog. Good to hear that Walker et al. are recommending the book. I just got an email from Currier telling me that she has been having some good conversations with you. I want to see some of the fruit of those conversations on your blog--even if it does end up being about Hebrew (my attempt to pick on Currier). Talk to you later Gordon,<BR/><BR/>AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163186.post-1151356583436061542006-06-26T16:16:00.000-05:002006-06-26T16:16:00.000-05:00Andy,It's funny but I was just talking to Angela W...Andy,<BR/><BR/>It's funny but I was just talking to Angela Walker, Beth Currier, and Jennifer Ould this past weekend, and they have all read or are currently reading "The Sparrow" or its sequel "Children of God," and they were all telling me I should read it. Thanks for adding yet another voice to the chorus of encouragement. Angela was actually chastising me a little since I love sci-fi and haven't read them yet. I'm going to get them this week and try to start reading them shortly.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>GordonGordon Hackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342433273604253495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163186.post-1151354129330798292006-06-26T15:35:00.000-05:002006-06-26T15:35:00.000-05:00Gordon,I don't know if I have mentioned the novel ...Gordon,<BR/><BR/>I don't know if I have mentioned the novel "The Sparrow" to you before, but I would highly recommend reading it. I am about half-way through it right now. I won't give myself the chance to give anything away, so read about it when you get a chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163186.post-1150821123507993412006-06-20T11:32:00.000-05:002006-06-20T11:32:00.000-05:00anomie-atlanta,Thanks for stopping by and commenti...anomie-atlanta,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I'll check out Afluenza. I think I've heard of it before. <BR/><BR/>Pattern Recognition is truly a great piece of writing. One of the best contemporary novels I've read in the past couple of years, and far and away the best thing I've read by Gibson (I've also read Nueromancer, All Tomorrow's Parties, and many of the short stories). <BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>GordonGordon Hackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342433273604253495noreply@blogger.com
