A La Carte (4/7)

Remembering Linsi – A great read: “On 9 February 2011 Dr Robert Stanley Lindsay went to be with the Lord, aged 83. Dr Steve Lee, who served at Kapsowar Hospital, looks back at Dr Lindsay’s service with AIM and the lasting impact of his work.”

@ True Woman – I was recently interviewed by Paula Hendricks of True Woman on issues related to technology, and specifically as they pertain to women.

Which makes the prospect of death all the more frightening to him:”

Turco – I’m not much of a hockey fan, but I enjoyed this story.

—Matthew Henry
