The Most Dangerous Countries for Women – The Big Picture has a heartbreaking photo gallery of the most dangerous countries for women.

Grow Up. Settle Down. – John MacArthur is penning a series of blog posts meant to speak to the Young, Restless, Reformed crowd.

Surprised by Suffering – At the Ligonier blog I’ve got a roundup of some great quotes from R.C. Sproul’s book Surprised by Suffering.

  • Compound Interest

    The Financial and Spiritual Principle of Compound Interest

    Aileen and I recently opened an RESP for our grandson and made an initial little deposit. An RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan) is a kind of savings account that allows money to accumulate without taxes, provided it is someday used for education.
