Serving Bread

Random and not-so-random articles and posts I have come across in the past week.

For an excellent article on the origins of the war/genocide/conflict in [tag]Darfur[/tag], check out the article from the Atlantic Monthly. It shows how the climate change has affected human relations. Skip the main article on [tag]global warming[/tag] (by Gregg Easterbrook). I wish “The Atlantic” would have a better standard on the kinds of articles it publishes. All speculation with sprinklings of science doesn’t make for that great reading.

Though I’m not a fan and disagree most of the time with Charles [tag]Krauthammer[/tag], I couldn’t but agree with his column in the recent “Time Magazine” about some liberals’ hypocrisy in their convictions regarding global warming. Buying “[tag]carbon credits[/tag]” to offset their lavish lifestyle doesn’t seem to me the most radical, effective, or even honest means means of combating our growing environmental crisis.

Last night, I went to bed with more joy after having read the article about a billionaire who is giving away his homes mansions to the [tag]homeless[/tag]. If only we had more models of the rich loving the poor in such radical ways.

In the blog world, I have enjoyed the commentary on [tag]Ephesians[/tag] over at Eternal Learning, with a bent on how to bring our finances under God’s authority.
