@ Mom Heart Online... and I'm posting over here today with Sally Clarkson and community --- and how to really manage the day.
@ Seth Godin.... "The secret, I think, is in understanding what matters." And it comes back to priorities unseen.... priorities unseen like love and relationship and souls... yes.

@Shaun Groves... If you could be involved in a revival that brought 500 souls *a day* to the saving knowledge and lordship of Jesus -- would you do it? This is why this matters to me...

@ The High Calling ... The perfect little smile for this week...
@ The Gospel Coalition... "But the modern church has tended to define a disciple as a "doer" instead of as a "learner".... but we have so rarely been challenged to pursue the most fundamental element of discipleship---earnest study of the Word." Powerful.
Ian and Larissa were reading a book on marriage in the video linked? Well, that book, by John Piper, "This Momentary Marriage A Parable of Permanence" is now generously being made free by Desiring God... Simply: for every couple (and happily just made free! Who doesn't want free encouragement!?)
Ian and Larissa? Whose video is linked below and touched nearly 100,000 peoples lives just yesterday through Desiring God...I spent time reading their blog last night, reading Larissa's word and her journey and her love for Jesus and Ian -- and this laid me low, because it's *their* surrendered story that I think is perfect for anyone looking to see more of God. Please -- click on the blog header & read through their blog and be profoundly moved by lives of faithfulness...
I've ever watched... @Desiring God. The Story of Ian & Larissa... and when the footage gets to their gratefulness board? I'm a mess. If you have 5 minutes for the internet today, use them all on this video.
@ Zondervan... "Humility is that good humus that grows gratitude that yields abundant joy." This.
@ - Desiring God... "He sings over those who have every reason to fear the face of God, not desire it." The joy of this!
