Technology: A 14-year old girl is suing MySpace.com for $30 million after a man she met online through that service sexually assaulted her. Fox says that she claims “it does not take sufficient steps to protect underage members.” How about suing her parents for not providing adequate supervision?

Bible: The ESV, clearly seeking to provide a Bible for every possible contingency, has released the Journalling Bible which features wide, ruled margins that have almost 2 inches of available space to write.

Blog: Al Mohler has opened the doors to yet another blog (because I guess he doesn’t have enough to do already!). This one is called ConventionalThinking and is devoted to discussing the Southern Baptist Convention.

Politics: FoxNews has a series on Saddam Hussein, and new evidence that may point to justifying Bush in his decision to invade Iraq. You can read the series here.

Thy Will Be Endured

To pray “Thy will be done” means more than “Thy will be endured.” It is more than a promise that we will grit our teeth and bear whatever his providence dictates. It will involve endurance, to be sure, but it must involve more than that. It must also involve submission and commission.
