Melissa: “I know that many of you who are reading this are thinking that you wouldn’t treat your husband like a child if he didn’t act like one. I get that. I really do. But, as long as we are slipping into the role of being his mother instead of his wife, we are only perpetuating the cycle.”

Unpretty

It was a joy to see my friend Dorcas writing a great article for RAAN.

Know Your Flock

Southern Baptists and the Confederate Flag

Russell Moore writes about the Southern Baptist Convention voting yesterday to repudiate the display of the Confederate flag.

This Day in 1520. 496 years ago today, Leo X condemned Martin Luther on 41 of counts of heresy, branding him an enemy of the Roman Catholic Church. *

Orlando: The Reichstag Fire

This seems a little alarmist, but it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

The Engineering of a Disposable Diaper

    So Many Dumb Ways To Die

    Do you remember the catchy little earworm “Dumb Ways To Die?” In what was undoubtedly one of history’s most successful public awareness campaigns, Metro Trains of Melbourne, Australia, reached millions of people around the world with their message of railroad safety.
