Earlier today, I read this entry from the Girl Talk archives. I thought, “Oh, I know someone who that would apply to. I should share it with them.” This evening, there is no one who needs to read it more than I do. I hope it might encourage you too.
“Whenever I am tempted to wallow [...]

Almost two years ago, Josh Harris wrote a blog entry called “Time to Cheat My Blog” (I saw it on his most popular posts section) and it definitely convicted me. He writes that he has found his e-mail and blogging habits taking time away from his family, and he decided to make a change by [...]

Check it out, check it out (that reminds me of a VeggieTales song):
Anna in Peru
I thought about keeping everything on this site, but I decided it’d be simpler if I just set up a separate one. That’s where I’ll be posting thoughts and pictures and everything else while I’m in Peru. Bye-bye, Hope Road traffic! [...]

Here’s a comforting excerpt from John Piper’s sermon “Discern What Pleases God: Himself” at the New Attitude conference:

I’ve allowed fear to confine and control me in so many ways, and I’m just realizing it recently. I’m afraid of you, the reader. What will you think of what I write? Is it good enough? Do I come across the wrong way? I’m afraid of death, of eternity, of suffering, of what people think [...]

When is the luxury of owning a Bible most appreciated? As with all necessities, I think the Bible is most valued where it is most scarce. It doesn’t take a lengthy perusal of Voice of the Martys to realize that! Sometimes the Scriptures are not legal in a certain country, so they have to be [...]

On a few blogs, I’ve seen a list of links, books, or topics of interest that the blogger has come up with recently. This week I’ve happened to come across quite a few good links that I want to share, so I thought I’d follow in that vein with my own “A la carte.”
