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

1. The Temptation to Overinterpret Suffering

We should be careful here, lest we put ourselves in the place of God to explain what God is up to.

2. Sin Never Keeps Its Promises

Helpful reminder here. By God’s grace, let us not be short-sighted and easily fooled.

3. A Prayer for Mercy

So beautiful. So timely.

4. What Shakespeare Actually Wrote About the Plague

I did not realize that Shakespeare’s life coincided with the bubonic plague. This is very interesting in light of that.
