For your enjoyment and edification, here’s what I’ve loved on the World Wide Web lately:

You Don’t Have to Be Good by Addie Zierman | “In the end, the Gospel story is a shattering of all the formulas.”  This blog post is an anthem for those redeemed by grace.  Addie, in her lyrical prose, reminds believers of Truths we forget far too often.

Become a Christian, Become Instantly Perfect? by Josh Pratt | Christian-turned-agnostic-turned-Christian explores the idea that Christians are supposedly to somehow be perfect when Christianity itself recognizes man’s depravity.

To parents of small children: Let me be the one who says it out loud by Steve Wiens | “The constant demands, the needs, and the fighting are fingernails across the chalkboard every single day.”  I thought this was a wonderful, funny, honest post about parenting.  I loved it, and I’m not even a parent!!

Starting Over, a Fox9 exclusive | My best friend told me about this news segment, and I’m so glad I watched it!  It’s the story of two Minnesotans caught in the claws of addiction who found redemption and one another.  Lovely!

It Matters Whom You Marry by RVD | This post is not new, but it was new to me, and I love it!  I work with so many young people, high school and college students, who need to wrangle the hormones for ten minutes and read this post.

My Wedding Hair by Emma Rathbone | This is a freakin’ hilarious piece that showed up on The New Yorker.

Caine’s Arcade | This short video about a 9-year-old making a cardboard arcade made me tear up about 6 times.  It’s absolutely brilliant.
