Technology’s Negative Impact on Missions – This is worth thinking about in terms of the impact of technology on missions.

Geek Dad – Has anyone checked out this book? It looks like The Dangerous Book for Boys…for Dads. It claims to offer “Awesomely Geeky Projects and Activities for Dads and Kids to Share.” That sounds like a fun book for summer.

Firefighters Are for Weak People – Dave Dorr: “Recently a firefighter in our church was told by one of his colleagues that belief in Jesus was for weak people. I found that ironic coming from a firefighter.” Read why…

Embodying What They Hate – This article makes a good and valid point about the New Atheists. “Atheists remain a tiny minority, but they’re far more vocal and combative than they used to be, an approach advocated by Dawkins and others.
