    Rick Warren, Tickling & Kissing, James Dobson, and Obama

    On another note… the Archdiocese of Cincinnati has issued a detailed list of inappropriate behaviors for priests, saying they should not kiss, tickle or wrestle children.  The newest version of the archdiocese’s Decree on Child Protection also prohibits bear hugs, lap-sitting and piggyback rides. Acceptable behavior:  priests may still shake children’s hands, pat them on the back and give high-fives. Hmmm…

    And finally… James Dobson will be inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame.  He beat out Dr. Laura, Bob Costas, and Howard Stern in the balloting this year.  I guess I’d feel better about this if I hadn’t gotten an email from Dr. Dobson’s Focus on the Family asking me to put my support behind James because of what a great testimony this would be.  Not sure why… but that didn’t sit real well with me.  I have a tendency to not like press releases like that.  Is it just me?

    OK… enough of my thoughts for the day…

    What’s on your mind this fine day?

    Here are just a few short, but interesting (at least I think so) tidbits from around the church world...

    You heard it here second. Ingrid is predicting that Rick Warren will be offerend a 'highly significant position within the [Barak Obama] administration, possibly cabinet level.' I guess we'll wait and see. She also predicted a couple years ago that we would have the equivalent of pagan temple prostitutes in our evangelical churches. She's getting to be a regular Pat Robertson. Just kidding, Ingrid. I don't think Rick would ever take a cabinet position (and I really doubt one would ever be offered). And if it was, maybe he should go for it. What do you think?

    Oh, but wait... there's more...

      Brian, Thanks for the comment .... I didn’t even know that Dobson was being considered until the email. So - I’m glad I got it.  I’m not bothered by the notification and invitation to participate in the decision of who would be honored.  To each his own!
