Four links to some things you might have missed, or at least ones that caught my attention this past week:

1. Love People, Not the Idea of People

As the article says, the problem with loving your neighbor is that your neighbor is an actual person.

2. Prayerlessness Springs from Pride

Valuable perspective here – that maybe the reason we fail to pray is because we are far too confident in ourselves.

3. Every Other Hope Will Disappoint

God’s agenda is not to deliver our personal version of happiness. If we are hoping in that, we will surely be disappointed.

4. The Logistics of Grocery Stores

Wow. Super interesting to consider what has to happen to get that box of cereal on the shelf.
