Hey all.  I’m excited to get today’s links and bullets posted.  So, without further ado . . .

WEEKLY LINKS

Link of the Week

PARENTING: Here is an article that contains some researched based ways to avoid drug and alcohol problems in teens. (Disclaimer: I know nothing is foolproof, but this article is definitely food for thought).

Christian Faith

BELIEF: What a nifty little article to help you think about belief.  Definitely worth your time.

FOLLOWING JESUS: Don’t look to someone else’s plan, and get serious about it!

LOVE: In a word, display it “ridiculously”.

ABORTION: Oh how powerful these pictures are.  Please take a look – this is LIFE!

BULLET THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK

PERSONAL:

  • Took a chance on the chocolate Chex cereal.  Great stuff!
  • Seems like being up early on Monday might become part of the routine.  The early morning hours are enjoyable, I do confess.
  • It’s about 1:30 p.m. and I feel like my entire day is complete.  I’m sure I’ll get a short nap this afternoon.  Being up early makes it seem like two days in one (not that I plan to make it an every day habit).
  • Wisdom is an ongoing need.  No doubt about it!
  • I am trying to get into shape.  Going ok, just want to run a 5K in May for a decent time.
  • Why on earth are the schools off today, Friday, and then again next Wednesday?  What a weird schedule.

FAITH:

  • This is definitely  a season of life where I feel stretched. I know I’m growing, and I don’t know where it’s leading, but it’s exciting.
  • Our local community (called Kenmore) took a stand against violence on Saturday night.  Here’s an article I posted today to our church’s blog with some of my thoughts.  The article includes a link to a news piece a Cleveland news station did after reporting on the event. What an excellent event to be a part of!
  • How much is prayer a part of your life? If the answer is “not much”, how are you trying to live without it, especially if you’re a believer? You do not have because you do not ask.
  • The end times: more for your knowledge or for application to daily living?  There should be balance here.

SPORTS:

  • Not much to say on sports this week.  Kinda slow.
  • A friend and I both guessed 86 games won by the Cleveland Indians this year. Interesting.
  • I love the rumors about the Browns stealing Flacco from the Ravens.  I don’t think it would happen, but it would be awesome to think about!
  • It’s a little early to make a pick for baseball, but I’m close.  Give me a few more weeks and I’ll make my prediction for the World Series winner. I know this: the Yankees won’t be in my thinking!
