ICRS is coming! The International Christian Retailer Show takes place in Denver from July 12 - 15. I'm already booked to interview suspense fiction authors Terri Blackstock and Brandilyn Collins, so I'm looking forward to that week even as I work at scheduling more authors and maybe a musician. Last time it was held in Denver, in 2006, I interviewed Ted Dekker and Pat Summerall and had a great day.

I haven't been ranting much lately because of numerous other obligations, but I'm working on some new websites I hope to unveil this summer. Stay tuned! Oh, and the ICRS interviews should be up before the end of July.

If you don't use an RSS reader yet, I recommed Google Reader because you can access it from any computer. It's a great way to keep up with all of your favorite blogs (and this one, too!).

My Search feature (top right) does a pretty good job on the rants and reviews. Try entering 'emerg*' (without the quotes) to see my take on things emergent and emerging.

As always, thanks for sharing any comments. Disagreements are usually more interesting than applause!

"..we make the Holy Scriptures the canon and the rule of every dogma; we of necessity look upon that, and receive alone that which may be made conformable to the intention of those writings. (Gregory of Nyssa, On the Soul and Resurrection, circa 335-395)
