1. Adoro Te Devote has a great post this week entitled, "What do You Seek When You Dream of Happiness?" about how our lives ultimately make the most sense through Jesus.
2. Steven provided this informative link about How To Build a Lego Trebuchet.
3. Rachel brought this site to my attention, where you can answer vocabulary questions correctly and various companies will donate 10 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. Not that I'm necessarily giving unqualified support to the UNWFP, but the vocab is fun, and donating rice doesn't hurt anyone. Certainly there are better ways to fight world hunger, but I see nothing wrong with having wealthy American companies donate rice to hungry people.
4. Scot McKnight is blogging through the book unChristian, and he is looking at Ch. 6 which discusses the impressions that Christians are "sheltered and irrelevant."
5. Hallowed Ground has some really nice paintings and pictures posted...I particularly like the last one in the post.
6. This 10 page article in the New York Times Magazine, entitled "The Evangelical Crackup" looks at the shifts that are taking place in the way that Evangelicals interact with politics, particularly on a national level.
7. In Illinois, apparently boys are consistently falling behind girls in testing and achievement at school. There are debates over whether it is because of changes to the tests or to the education in general.
