Josh Hamilton – “I sometimes get nervous when I listen to Christian athletes talk about their faith on the big stage.

YouVersion – YouVersion is celebrating the 50 millionth install of its app. I’ve downloaded it many times on many devices and use it pretty much every day. They’ve got lots of interesting statistics to share.

The contented man is never poor, the discontented never rich.

—George Eliot
