Saturday Blog Review, Part Dos

Mary Beth was up bright and early with her review of the first half of the blogroll and I'm right behind her this morning with the rest of your Saturday round-up.

There were a lot of players in the Friday Hair meme, but the other non-hair related posts clustered around several themes: Ministry, Everyday (dare I say, "quotidian"?) Life, Culture and Prayer.

Ministry-related bloggers included Jean, who explains how she became involved in a prison ministry and why it is meaningful for her. Micahgirl concludes that both physical and spiritual fitness is a commitment to faithfulness, a series of small right steps. Is Joel Osteen (pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston) really a theological liberal? Reverend Mommy discovers similarities. Sister Christer is pleased that an old friend may join her community. Both RevEm and Rainbow Pastor are struggling with boundary and stress issues. And St. Cassarole gives us her top ten reasons why she needs a spring break more than college students.

Quotidian posts described the breakup of an important friendship and the cost of change (Misspk), the dating mores of the modern 3rd grader (Amy), odd jobs (Stacey), workman's compensation claims (Peripatetic Polar Bear), and the Texas Towncar o' Justice (me). Ginger shares the obituary of her grandfather as a memorial on his birthday. And you won't want to miss the Revbaby's first in a series of reviews for the diapered set.

Culture Chatter Department: Steph links to a film clip that shows life imitating art. Every Friday is Pop Culture Roundup Day at Philosophy Over Coffee and this time he reviews the book Seeds by Thomas Merton, the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Hasidic Jewish reggae singer Matisyahyu and the TV series Buffy--Season 6. Whew! Uh-oh, Lorna is tempted by a shipment of 3 non-theology books to neglect her studies. A girl's just gotta have SOME fun...

I'm closing this review with links to prayers from Songbird in response to the death of peace activist Tom Fox, and Beth who posts a lovely evening prayer.

Shalom.
