Behold!: some noteworthy pieces over the last couple of days:
Technology, society, spirituality
- Jason Allen has a piece at TGC about if Facebook tempts you, especially on the dangers of envy in a social media world.
- Dana Goldstein writes that homeschooling violates progressive values. Frankly, I didn't realize that in our postmodern world you could still describe things as "progressive"... hasn't "progress" been debunked?
- D.L.M. echoes my disdain for politics in the light of the Kingdom of God
- NPR reports on a certain Open Source Ecology farm, which is the kind of thing I (and probably D.L.M.) could really get excited about.
Random
- Nuns run. I'm tempted sign up as a shadow runner, but won't.
- Andrew Peterson shares more about songwriting, and even offers up a new song.
Fatherhood
- Tim Keller's wife writes about why the city is a wonderful place to raise children, also at TGC. My mother and I were raised in the suburbs, my wife and father in the countryside. I've occasionally worried about living in the a huge metropolitan area with a kid, but Mrs. Keller puts a good turn to things. Not that all of the cool stuff on the list at the end actually applies to Asunción, but there are some things.
