Care For Your Family Into Eternity – Ray Ortlund: “After my dad’s death in 2007, I found in his desk a letter he had written to the family several years before. Here is one way a saintly man can care for his family so that it lasts forever…”

Moving Huge Blocks – This man has figured out how to move huge blocks using only the most rudimentary of tools. It’s impressive even in really low definition video.

Red Letter Nonsense – Kevin DeYoung uncorks on the red letter nonsense.

OOOOOPSI – Justin Taylor highlights the OOOOOPSI model of American media outrage coverage.
