Father & Son – “Chris Bray and his father, Kenneth, attended the launch of STS-135, the final space shuttle mission, on July 8. Thirty years earlier, they saw the launch of STS-1, the very first one. Possessing nearly identical photos of himself and his father at the two launches, Bray uploaded a composite image of them to Flickr and posted a link to the image on Reddit. It quickly shot up the ranks.”
Dramatic Swings – WORLD writes about Christian ballplayer Josh Hamilton who was recently involved in a terrible tragedy.
Modern Poverty – This is definitely worth reading: “When Americans think of poverty, we tend to picture people who can’t adequately shelter, clothe, and feed themselves or their families.

Lego LOTR – This is spectacular.
Understanding Homosexuality – In this series R.C. Sproul looks to Scripture to help us understand some of the confusion surrounding the issue of homosexuality and provides us with simple biblical responses to them. It’s a free download from Ligonier.
Dilbert – Dilbert still makes me laugh occasionally.
Sin is but hell in embryo; hell is but sin in fulfilment.
—Thomas V. Moore
