Eli to Everest! – Be sure to watch this one! “In March of 2013, Eli Reimer and a Team of 8 people spent 15 days on a Himalayan trail to Mount Everest Base Camp and back.

Adultery Prevention – This article nicely complements what I wrote yesterday. Rebecca VanDoodewaard writes from a woman’s perspective on how to prevent adultery in marriage.

Spurgeon

There was never a sinner half as big as Christ is as a Savior.
