Hope Road

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.”  

Six-word stories: I loved the stories you guys wrote in the comments section of my last entry. I’m surprised more people didn’t try, because I got quite a few hits on that entry but only four stories! If you feel so inclined, go write a story, and I’ll put off posting my favorite(s) until the next entry. 

Church: Ugandan seminary students’ moving responses to John Piper’s Let the Nations Be Glad!

Relationships: “What Girls Wish You Knew” on Boundless… It’s pretty accurate from my standpoint!

Faithfulness: If this doesn’t move you to tears, not much will. Heather’s reflections, “On the Table” and “Aloneness,” on her cancer experience.

Modesty: Emily at Unfurling Flower has written a great series: “Why dress modestly?”

Biblical womanhood: “And as the bird easily comes to terms with the necessity of bearing wings when it finds that it is, in fact, the wings that bear the bird - up, away from the world, into the sky, into freedom - so the woman who accepts the limitations of womanhood finds in those very limitations her gifts, her special calling - wings, in fact, which bear her up into perfect freedom, into the will of God.” -Elisabeth Elliot, Let Me Be a Woman

Scripture: “For it is no empty word for you, but your very life” (Deut. 32:47).
