Welcome to the weekend, a prime time for some “Wandering & Wondering”.
This weekend’s Six-Pack features a half-dozen of the best online bits I’ve read recently: About faith, about ministry, about who-knows-what.
If you need help prioritizing, note my two “Picks of the Week”, and roll on from there.
In this edition:
1) Winged Enemies
Each Sunday, Skye Jethani‘s four-year-old daughter warns the family, “We’re going to church. Watch out for poop.” And with that introduction, I suggest you go read the rest of this article on spiritual warfare.
2) Risky Sex
Talk of “safe sex” is foolishness, according to Michael Hidalgo. Even more, if it DID exist, who would want it? Risky sex is where it’s at! **PICK OF THE WEEK**
3) Unequally Yoked
That is the new blog title of Leah Libresco, a prominent atheist blogger in some circles, who recently caused ripples with her post, “This is my last post for the Patheos Atheist Portal”. In it, she briefly recounts her gradual conversion to Catholicism. A summary by Scot McKnight can be read HERE, and Google can quickly provide you with more than a pile of responses and replies.
4) Why Smart People are Stupid
The New Yorker presented this piece on how your smartness may actually work against you.
5) It’s Not About the Dream
VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer turns to a jellyfish for new inspiration, new ventures, and a new way of doing business. This is the story behind the man, behind Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato, and it involves more convicting and repenting than you might expect.
6) Are You a Saint or a Scorpion
The memorable fable drives home a great point… or several! **PICK OF THE WEEK**
Enjoy your weekend, friends, through renewing yourself and reverencing God.
