I’ve been doing most of my blog-reading via RSS feeds and Google Reader for several months now; it’s extremely cool, if you’ve not given it a try. And one of Google Reader’s features is the ability to tag particularly interesting posts with a “star”. I’ve been using this feature quite a lot, but to date I’ve done almost nothing with the star’d posts. So tonight I thought I’d be a follower and do a round-up post, just like everybody else. Who knows, maybe this will become a regular feature.

The Story of a Friendship: I dunno what’s in the water out Jennifer’s way, but I’d like to get me some of it. Or, what do you do about those kids who keep ringing your doorbell and running away?

The clue in the church bookstore: Or, what the folks at Jeremiah Wright’s church have been reading.

Ipods are Woobies: Or, have you noticed that none of the folks walking around with iPods are dancing like the silhouettes in the ads?

House of Formation: In which Sherry Weddell recalls saying to a flock of Dominican priests,

When you entered the Order, you spent years being educated and formed for your vocation. But I, too, am a preacher of the gospel in my own right – and where is my house of formation? Your parish is my St. Albert’s, the only house of formation I may ever have to prepare me for my vocation as an evangelizing change agent in the world.

I’d like some of the water from Colorado Springs, too.
