Friday’s Links
Confession: Some of these were sent to me by you. So, thank you to those who sent me links this week!
As I’m preparing to run a 10-mile Obstacle Course in October called the urbanathlon, this article caught my eye. Running is difficult, but running in a habit makes it even more difficult. I guess the cause of helping orphans might nullify any hindrance that a funny outfit might have on your race pace!
Having just had to deal with a church building decision that is completely out of your control and someone that wanted to renegotiate a contractual agreement of payment, I’ve been praying for Newspring Community Church and their SMT. This is a crazy story. After you read it, I invite you to pray for them too!
I’m sure you’ve seen this story floating through the media. I’m not sure how I feel about the government forcing treatment, but I definitely know how I feel about a boy’s mom refusing treatment for the removal of a deadly disease. I see this everyday as people reject Jesus’ atoning sacrifice. It’s a guaranteed cure for a nature that’s corrupt and guaranteed to kill, and yet, people reject it and refuse it all the time. Perhaps it’s presentation or maybe it’s pride, but whatever it is, I don’t get it! Kid, take the chemo! People, take the salvation!
AND, here we go again. You want to know why prostitutes have a high HIV risk? It’s because they’re prostitutes. How about taking that $178K and buying one of them off of the streets and starting a program of rehabilitation for Thailand’s prostitutes? Maybe HIV would start to decline! BTW, aren’t we in a recession in AMERICA?
Finally, I’ve saved the best for last. It’s always a good thing to catch up with Coach Mark Richt.
Enjoy. If you see any interesting articles next week, pass them on!
