I heard many with the opinion that what was previously happening in Egypt wasn’t newsworthy. I understand what was trying to be said, but I think what happened there has laid the groundwork for what we see happening in Libya and plenty of other countries. The Middle East will never be the same. Check out some pictures from Libya, amazing.
A few days ago most Portland weather forecasters were predicting a major snowstorm (major for Portland) of around 4 to 6 inches of snow. Come Thursday morning we got about an inch that melted away in 3 hours. At least it was enough to cancel school. Gotta love the PNW 🙂

- Thought provoking post: “Why Do We Have Children?”
- An open letter to pastors from Noel Helkkinen: “I’m so mad that sin can topple years of hard work and devotion in an instant.  At the same time, I take solace knowing that while individual men may fall, the gates of hell will not prevail against Jesus’ church.”
- Enjoyed John Stackhouse’s take on honorariums for Christian speakers. Too often the sacrifice for service to the body goes under-appreciated.
- Favorite post of the week: “For the first time in my life and ministry, I was depressed. Not just down. Not just discouraged. Depressed. It had been coming for months, and it lasted for months.”
