4. Running + Life Lessons = Winning Combination. I really connected with Running Lessons from Trails from the Heart.
5. A national Christian organization called for a boycott of an international coffee chain.
6. Russell Moore responded with an explanation of “Why Christians shouldn’t boycott Starbucks.”

*Whatever your view and/or approach to this matter, it’s not going away. The number of corporations who are pro-actively working against our positions on social issues is going to increase. We need to be prepared to have a well-thought out ethical and Scriptural response.
8. Two prominent professors have recently begun blogs – both have been added to my regular reading list:
