There is no way that I could possibly comment on everything I see in the week, and while I’m trying to use Twitter to pass along articles that I find interesting, sometimes it’s a lot just to bookmark it and move on.

Author believes that God is like a GPS, constantly pointing out the optimum path for you to serve Him, even if you take the wrong route.
Congressman, and candidate for President, Ron Paul believes that a default is coming—the question is what kind. Either a default by inflation or a default by not raising the debt ceiling. Looks like we’ve chosen the former.
Does the Word “Evangelical” Mean Anything Anymore?
