Patrick Henry Hughes
I enjoyed this little video about Patrick Henry Hughes: “Patrick is a remarkable young man who was born without eyes and without the ability to fully straighten his arms and legs, making him unable to walk.

Six Books for Children on the Bible’s Storyline
Andy Naselli points to some books that look like excellent resources for parents and children.


Little Bird
“Working in the Emergency Room is a frustrating experience, in the sense that the large majority of what comes through the doors is a complete misuse of resources.

Devils Among Us
Dean Sam Lloyd and actor Max McLean discuss Screwtape in this conversation (available in both audio and video).

    Why Not Use a Daily Liturgy for Your Devotions?

    Trends come and go. Certain habits or interests rise for a time, wane, then rise again, often at unexpected moments.

This may be liturgy within formal worship services of the local…
