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. Additionally, two steel rods were surgically attached to Patrick’s spine to correct scoliosis.” (HT:Z)


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.

  • Building Churches

    Building Churches Out of Other Churches

    What is your church really made of? Or perhaps better said, who is your church really made of? This is something we all do well to ponder from time to time, for there are good ways and bad ways, better ways and worse ways to fill a church.
