More Gospel Centered Than Thou – Mark Lauterbach has been thinking about gospel-centeredness and raises a few possible concerns in this article. It’s well worth a read.

Nate Fancher – I enjoy Nate Fancher’s music and am glad to see that he has made it all free for a limited time.

Every Bomb in the Blitz – This is pretty amazing. The British National Archives have created an interactive map that shows every German bomb dropped on London during the Blitz (in the Second World War).

Thanks for Not Sharing – This columnist is tired of our status updates. “It is tempting to call this unctuous ooze of status updates and vacation snaps seeping across Facebook and Twitter and the rest information overload. But that would be to debase the word ‘information.’”
