considerable grace

Steve Cornell directed this post at pastors, but there is wisdom in his words for everyone:

When Pastors Update and Tweet (Do’s and Don'ts)

Challies pointed me to that post as well as to this great Brian Croft post (again, directed at pastors, but I just loved it even as a layperson!):

How Do You Care for Parents of a New Baby in the Hospital

Challies also reviewed a new book on marriage that I’m wondering if Fred would be interested in (even though we’re almost 16 years away from the “awesome” first year of marriage the author references):

Put the Seat Down (and other brilliant insights for an awesome first yerar of marriage)

(Thanks, Challies, for another great group of links.)
