I am thankful to Truth Remains for sponsoring the blog this week; you can watch a free documentary about the English Bible at the link.

Ed Welch has an article about The Hopeless Marriage. “I hate that hopelessness. The choices are to persist in the relationship and see who dies first or to craft an independent life and try to pretend you don’t care. Either way, your soul withers.
