Being thankful: women 312, men 0
November 19, 2008
There seem to be a lot of posts by women on thankfulness, but not so many by the guys.
Just yesterday, Sue Bohlin posted on “Turning Thanksgiving Inside Out” at the Tapestry blog.
“It’s not too hard to come up with a list of reasons to grump about the Thanksgiving holiday:
• Lots of work in the kitchen
• Lots of cleaning to do
• Lots of cooking to do
• Lots of buying food to do
• Spending time with family where the worst in people easily spills out
• Crowds in the stores as we prepare
• The stores already have their Christmas decorations out—like since Halloween
• Too much football on TV
• Too much food
But to cultivate a biblical mindset, we can take this list and turn it inside out to reveal the embarrassment of riches and lavishment of blessings that are attached to each item by invoking our own personal thanksgiving:
Lots of work in the kitchen: Thank You, Lord, that I have a fully functioning kitchen! Thank You for my stove and my oven and my refrigerator and my sink and my counters and my storage of my many many kitchen items.”
And at Rebecca Writes, the womenfolk have been expressing their gratitude on a daily basis!
What’s up, fellas?

“Never apologize for the truth” (UPDATE: Wallace responds)
November 7, 2008
At the Gender Blog, Jeff Robinson critiques the somewhat reluctant stance of Greek scholar Dan Wallace on the issue of female leadership in the church:
“I have great respect for Dr. Wallace and even appreciate much about the letter, including his desire to be gracious in debating theological matters. However, I cannot follow him in his halting manner over what he admits to be the very clear teaching of the Word of God. …”
Update 11/7: Wallace has posted a response at Parchment and Pen:
“I thought it [Robinson's post] misrepresented my views in some serious ways, so I wrote a response. I had thought that that response would either get posted on the site (it wasn’t), would have caused the author to alter what he said (he didn’t), or at least have stimulated the writing of a letter to me from the CBMW folks (they weren’t). Regrettably, I have to post my response here, because of the one-sided story that was given at CBMW. …”
Books for men and women
November 7, 2008
Nathan Pitchford reviews Douglas Bond’s Fathers and Sons: Hold Fast in a Broken World, at Reformation Theology:
“This is a book that both fathers and sons would do well to come to: sons, to drink from the well of practical wisdom, and fathers to encounter an example to be followed.”
(Buy a copy. See also Fathers and Sons: Stand Fast in the Way of Truth.)
And Sarah J. Flashing reviews Practical Theology for Women, by Wendy Horger Alsup:
This is an excellent book for the young or mature woman in Christ. There is nothing about it that says “this book is for girls,” so for those who typically avoid pink, frilly devotionals, this book is for you.”
