Myths & Misperceptions About Suicide – Paul Tautges shares a guest blog post, saying “There are many myths and misperceptions about suicide that hinder us from dealing effectively with suicidal persons. Here are some of them, with brief comments…”

Kim Jong Un – We’re all trying to figure out Kim Jong Un. This profile from The Washington Post is quite an interesting one.

To the Innocent Victims – I appreciated this post, written in memory of the victims of Dr. Kermit Gosnell.

Piper on Regrets and Retirement – Collin Hansen sat down with John Piper to ask about his retirement and ministry regrets.

—D.L. Moody
