Here are some of the good posts seen this week:
How Do I Find the Main Point of a Psalm (or a larger passage of Scripture), HT to Knowable Word. John Piper likens understanding larger passages of Scripture to working a jigsaw puzzle. Great illustration.
How to Prepare for a Great Morning Routine. "I've had the unique privilege of helping thousands of Christians refine their own Christ-honoring morning routines. And there are certain patterns that show up again and again with those who are struggling to stick with a routine like this. They all boil down to one thing: Lack of preparation."
Be a Woman Hidden in the Church. "We live in a culture captivated by the idea of 'making a name for yourself.' From pop culture celebrities to Christian influencers, the world around us seems to say that in order to make any real difference you first need to have a large sphere of influence and a certain number of followers. And your name on the cover of a book doesn't hurt. This is not the path to significance that Jesus taught."
What to Do When You Long for Encouragement. "When it comes to my own reactions to perceived slights, I'm inclined to bypass the Golden Rule and proceed straight to feeling sorry for myself."
Why We Cannot Cast Them Aside. "As I've watched my precious mom deteriorate from the devastating effects of early onset Alzheimer's, I've also had to face our world's deeply entrenched beliefs about what gives people value."
Repairing Old Books by Deconstructing Them, HT to Steve Laube. This is a ten-minute video about a woman who restores old books by taking them apart, repairing them, and putting them back together. I worked at the university library while in college. One lady there did book repair, but not as extensive as this. I found it fascinating.
True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love's sake have in them a poetry that is immortal. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
