Together Again – Here’s a great video from Igniter Media.

History Helps Put Things in Perspective – I quite agree with Kevin DeYoung here: “I’m a proponent of families worshiping together.

On Piles of Sand and Eating Babies – Read this one and allow yourself to be convicted.

Psalm 139 Project – I love the idea behind the Psalm 139 Project.

    Modesty Requires Looking Away

    The plane reached the terminal in Recife, Brazil and the ground crew opened the door. I have been through more airports than I can count1 and find they all kind of blur together—jetways, corridors, escalators, luggage belts.
