Patrick Henry Hughes
I enjoyed this little video about Patrick Henry Hughes: “Patrick is a remarkable young man who was born without eyes and without the ability to fully straighten his arms and legs, making him unable to walk.

Six Books for Children on the Bible’s Storyline
Andy Naselli points to some books that look like excellent resources for parents and children.


Little Bird
“Working in the Emergency Room is a frustrating experience, in the sense that the large majority of what comes through the doors is a complete misuse of resources.

Devils Among Us
Dean Sam Lloyd and actor Max McLean discuss Screwtape in this conversation (available in both audio and video).


Bible Reading Plan 2010

    It Doesn’t Matter What You Remember

    I have a memory like a … what do you call it? That thing in the kitchen you use to sift the stuff you want from the stuff you don’t. A sieve! That’s it. I have a memory like a sieve. I joke about it at times, and about how I have to outsource remembering…
