The Internet a Decade Later – “A decade — 10 years. Doesn’t sound like much, right? But a decade ago, the big social networking story was Friendster with a whopping 3 million users.

The Acts of the Holy Spirit – Here’s a nice new infographic from The Good Book Company. It offers a timeline of Acts and the epistles.
