Norway in Pictures – Here’s a gallery of some beautiful pictures of Norway. It’s pure eye candy!

Hot Weather in Richmond – This is rather an unusual forecast.

Count Robert de La Rochefoucauld – Al Mohler says this is a must-read obituary and I’m inclined to agree. What a fascinating life!

—C.H. Spurgeon
