Every now and then I come across neat stuff on the internet that I want to leave my readers with. So here are some flotsam and jetsam type things, in no particular order:
Cassandra read my post on Dedication or Discipline regarding listening in prayer, and she sent me a link to a lovely post about listening like Elijah. I really related to it because I used similar imagery in my book How Big Is Your Umbrella. Think about it: Elijah had just seen God send down fire and consume the sacrifice, and yet God said He wasn't in the fire, He was in the whisper. Are we listening to hear God's whispers?
If you're into social science research, here's a really interesting post on the rates of illegitimacy in different demographic groups. Hint: it's not money that separates us into different classes as much as it is our attitudes about marriage. I think I may turn this into a column soon.
If you're Canadian, and you want to write, I'm going to be teaching at the Write Canada conference in June. Find out more here.
