Stuff I considered writing blog posts on but didn’t:

*This post by Derek on what Phyllis Tickle calls “The Great Emergence”

*Social conservatives versus Rudy Giuliani

*This book, which I read while traveling last week

*My current ambiguous ecclesial affiliations

P.S. Firefly=awesome! My wife and I started watching this for the second time around last night; I urge you to check out this terrific (and, alas, short-lived) show if you haven’t already.
