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:
