I'm commiserating with Dave at the mindful mission as he shares his thoughts on balancing the desire for a personally fulfilling avocation with real-life responsibilities like paying the rent and supporting a family.

Adam at pomomusings was Feeling Domestic and shares his experience of baking peach cobbler, complete with recipe and photo. Yuuuuummmmm... peach cobbler! My favorite. Excuse me while I lick my screen.

I enjoyed reading about pagans as Honorary Christians at The Wild Hunt. If the criterion for escaping the fires of hell is being a "favorite pagan author" then do you think we bloggers will make the cut?

With feminist sensibilities finely honed by four years at Smith College, I couldn't help but appreciate Danya's post at Jerusalem Syndrome, The Stained Glass Ceiling. I hear you sister! This is getting old.

Shawn Anthony at Lo-Fi Tribe scratches the surface of pluralism with his post Does Tolerance Disarm Religious Liberals? He says that in order to get to a point where all religious views are accepted as valid, those who are religious liberals must be willing to sacrifice always being right. That could be true, but I think Warren Ross may be preaching to the choir. It's not religious liberals I worry about; it's the religious fundamentalists whose party line is "my way or the high way."

And a warm welcome to our new Scribes: Jim Burklo at The Center for Progressive Christianity's blog Musings. My pal (and fellow guest blogger at A Pagan Sojourn) Mike Banys at Unknowing Mind. Mark Berry at safe space (love the planets, Mark!). Judith Weiss at Kesher Talk. Brother Maynard at Subversive Influence.
