My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward – This article (language warning) describes just some of the difficulties of dealing with serious mental illness. It is sad, but also very revealing.

Books on Sale – Westminster Books has some new, noteworthy, and slightly off-the-beaten-path titles on sale this week.

Lonely Jack Nicholson – This article deals with adult topics, but also real-world topics. Jack Nicholson, who was a notorious womanizer, reaches his senior years and finds himself all alone. It’s like something out of Ecclesiastes.

Big Hairy Audacious Goals – I like Mark Altrogge’s big hairy audacious goal for the year ahead.

Love the Church More than its Health – This one goes out to the people who love doctrine.

Human Trafficking at Your Finger Tips – Jefferson Bethke talks about the connection between porn and human trafficking.

How Far Will We Go to Learn Ongota? – J.D. Payne lays down a challenge.
