Died: Joyce Lin, Missionary Pilot
Christianity Today reports on the tragic death of a missionary pilot, MAF’s first fatal accident in 23 years. “Joyce Lin, a pilot with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), was transporting rapid test kits and school supplies to a village in Papua, the easternmost province in the far-flung island chain. She took off from the city of Sentani at 6:27 a.m. and made a distress call two minutes later, MAF spokesman Brad Hoagland said.

My mind can extol God for the fascinating abilities He has given these little creatures, but my emotions often get the better of me when I encounter a hairy fellow clinging to the side of a cottage, or peering at me from underneath a dock by a lake.”
Formerly Known as Male and Female
Greg Morse writes about the tragedy that is the “gender unicorn.” “My generation grew up with a purple dinosaur, singing, ‘I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family.’ This generation is growing up with a sexualized purple unicorn, singing similar lyrics with much different meaning. How far down does this well go?”
