Previous Post – Embracing the Powerlessness of the Cross

Every week a plan on sharing links that I loved and every week I forget to post them.  So, this is me FINALLY trying to do some enjoyable weekend linkage for you all.  Have a good weekend:

-Pre-orders are now available for “Introverts In The Church: Finding Our Place In An Extroverted Culture” by Adam McHugh, a book I am VERY keen on reading/reviewing.  This is an increasingly critical challenge for me and many of my core leadership at YWAM/Little Flowers Community.  I will be interviewing the author here sometime soon, so stay tuned!

-More people have been asking me about my formation as a third order Franciscan.  I am nearing profession with The Company of Jesus, an ecumenical order in the Anglican rite.  While there is a Benedictine charism in the order, I am professing under the Franciscan tradition.  They are also on Facebook here, so check them out.

-We have been appalled by the promotion of the upcoming film “Orphan” in it’s damaging portrayal of orphans/adoption, a subculture already fraught with stigma.  Further, as Tom Davis explains, it ignores the true horrors that orphans face daily.  Get involved in the “fields of the fatherless”.

-John Michael Talbot, musician, monk and man of God, is diving in online.  He’s VERY interactive with people in most mediums, a rare thing for someone in his position.  In addition to his website, he’s on Facebook here and Twitter here.

-Kevin Spacey is one of my favorite actors, so when I heard he is on Twitter, I was thrilled.  He discusses Tweeting with David Letterman in the video below:
