A Week of Groceries – I always enjoy photo collections like this one. Here is a week of groceries from different families around the world.

How Introverted Pastors Love – John Piper has some helpful thoughts on the introverted pastors. He makes many other observations on 33 years of pastoral ministry.

There is no better test of growth than that a man desires God because he is God.
