A dull grey horrible morning so this is one from yesterday instead. The twitter element in my sidebar seems to be giving problems, so I’ll remove it.
A rise in seismic activity
One of the recent articles I read about AGW talked about the dropping off in solar activity and there was another one which I can’t now place which linked solar activity to seismic activity on earth (which makes sense) – in other words we can look forward to a more active earth, more earthquakes and volcanoes and so on.
Which implies that the long delayed Californian quake and Tokyo disasters are just around the corner. Just something else to throw into the mix.

A review of Brueggemann on the Old Testament. (H/T John Hobbins)
I particularly liked this sentence: “He seeks to demonstrate that close attention to Israel’s testimony ultimately serves the pastoral end of conversion: namely, conversion from the illusion of the self-sufficient human agent to a life lived fully in partnership with YHWH.” That’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently.
