A Mess Worth Making – This is a long and kind of dense article from Kevin DeYoung and Ryan Kelly, but it’s one worth reading.

A Meandering on Marriage – I enjoyed these thoughts on marriage. As promised they meander a little, but that’s okay.

7 Things – Here are 7 things every guy should know about buying a suit. If you’re like me, you’ll want your wife to watch it so she can help you shop better.

Judging Others – Here are 7 signs that you may just be judging others.
