A Gazillion Thoughts

So, I've started a gazillion posts in a draft, but haven't followed up on any of them. Life has really picked up the pace and I think it's not going to slack off. I'm a little concerned that it's going to get even crazier.

But that doesn't change the fact that I still need to process things and get them off my chest. So in an effort to work through some stuff without taking so much time, I am going to let you in on what's been catching my attention the last month or so by simply linking to the blogs or articles that have touched me. I may or may not leave my own comments, and so as not to overwhelm anyone who might take the time to read this, I will only post a few at a time. Feel free to leave your feedback.

I'll start in the order that I've been collecting:

"I believe that our impulse towards grace is a reflection of
God’s image inside of us, not a weakness of which we should be ashamed" - Rachel Held Evans in her blog post Rob Bell, The SBC and the Age of Accountability

I am mystified as to why it's supposedly such a bad thing for a Christian to have a "bleeding heart." We follow Jesus Christ, whose heart was so overflowing with compassion that he bled from his head, hands, feet, and side, and *still* forgave those who wounded him. It seems to me that a "bleeding heart" is something Christians should aspire to. - comments on her blog
