Local blogs sprouting everywhere:
- Empires Fall:
Thirteen Physicists Warn Bush of Nuclear Horrors
Well, this is good. The Preznit needs to hear from people from all walks of life.
I don't think the fact that some fizzists are writing him is going to have much effect on him directly, because he gets his orders from Gawd, or from Exxon, depending on whose share price is higher on any given day.
But it's going to make him look like an ignorant, warmongering yokel.
I don't know if that's a good thing. I'm kind of thinking it may just endear him even more to his base.
- Peregrinate:
Afterlands
I just finished Afterlands, a wonderful novel by Steven Heighton, a poet and novelist. It’s a beautifully-written account of a disastrous expedition to the Arctic and the aftermath of those struggles in the lives of three of the participants. It weaves an incredible and true story of survival, adrift on a chunk of ice through an Arctic winter, into a brilliant imagining of those events and what they created for the survivors. The author tells the events while pulling them through a mesh of conflicts between cultures, languages, nationalisms, class, and more personal commitments.
- Ignite Revival: Jesus Arrives!
On Palm Sunday April 9, 2006 at 7 PM we will launch 24 hour prayer on our new church property in Olympia, WA. We will be praying for revival to ignite in Olympia and spread across the USA. We will begin posting regular reports of what the Holy Spirit is doing as we pray. We will be praying for our nation, our youth, our leaders and the pre-Christians that will be saved through our prayers. Will you commit to pray? Email igniterevival@livingwater.com to register and join us April 9th at 7 PM on the land for Orientation, Worship and Prayer!

Second Church of Living water blog
Submitted by emmettoconnell on Tue, 04/18/2006 - 8:02am.That's the second from that church that I've noticed. I have to write something one of these days about the conservative/Christian blogs around town, they're actually pretty good. In quality of content (that I mostly disagree with) design and use of the medium they're pretty good.
Really gets me down because of all the other folks out there that I do agree with that could be blogging but aren't.
