~ Volume XV ~
For all you extroverts out there, Jason Kottke [1] revives a link to Jonathan Rauch’s hilarious article from The Atlantic in March 2003 entitled, “Caring for Your Introvert [2].” If you’re an unabashed introvert like me, be sure to share it with all those outgoing people around you.
Be sure to check out Jason Doty’s new blog, Dr. Bare Minimum [3]. An occasional commenter here at TruePravda, Jason is a student at SBTS [4] and hails from my hometown of Kingsport, TN. His new blog is worth a look.
My old friend Charles Halton is back to blogging [5]. Charles’ former blog, Marduk’s Terror [6], had gaps of up to a year between posts. He looks to be updating his new awilum.com [5] more frequently, with lots of interesting insights from the ancient Near East and the Bible. I guess Charles is now a bona fide biblical scholar, as he is now referring to himself as “J.C. Halton.”
Christian missions are of great interest to me, and Colby Willen’s articulation of a local church vision for doing missions [7] is spot-on in step with my own view. If you’re part of a church that’s interested in reaching out (as all churches should be), you’d be wise to consider some of the points in Colby’s post.
