Thought

The homemade music videos on YouTube are weird. Just weird.

Media I Recommend

• True Christianity Changes the Culture It's In: Tim Keller on idols & the Gospel: http://tgc-video.s3.amazonaws.com/2009-conference/plenary/Keller_Session_1.mp3
• Dating, Singleness, and Marriage: Females AND males of all ages, you MUST listen to this panel by ASCC staff & partners: http://www.austinstone.org/what/gt_blog/dating_singleness_marriage/
• Discipleship: These three talks are from Austin Stone's Summer Conference "The Kingdom is at Hand: The Foundational Need for Discipleship" http://www.austinstone.org/resources/other_audio/category/2009_summer_conference
• What the Church Should be Like: Click the link above. Listen to the 3rd talk, "Discipleship in the Church." Yes, I gave it two bullet points. Yes, it is that good. I wish every broken, hurting Christian, as well as every Christian who thinks they will never be broken or hurting, would listen to this and pray for the Holy Spirit to move in their heart. If we all did, I think the Church would be beautifully changed.

Mmhmmm.

My longtime-but-recently-waning interest in quotes is making a comeback:

"I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train." -Oscar Wilde

“We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character” -H. D. Thoreau

“No segment of society is more strategic and more in need of prayer than pastors and their families... They urgently and desperately need our love, encouragement and earnest prayers.” -Bill Bright

Prayer for the Day

From Jeff Iorg:

"Lord, your Kingdom matters. Mine doesn't. Advance your cause, whatever that means for me."
