Nick Batzig is Working on Learning to Rest. I need help there as well!

Ray Ortlund shows how The Ways of God Are To Be Admired.

I’m grateful to Thom Rainer for sponsoring the blog this week with his article 7 Reasons Some Churches Experience Revitalization (While Others Don’t).

Here’s a description of the World’s Strangest Road-Trip through North Korea.
