The Alone Zone – Michael Hyatt shares wisdom on creating an “alone zone.”

Pastoring Women – Thabiti has a roundup of the articles from the latest 9Marks eJournal which deals with pastoring women. He writes “Ladies, be sure to forward the link to your pastors along with a note of appreciation, encouragement, or prayer for the Lord’s use of them to care for you and other ladies.”
