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

1. The Church Isn’t Meant to Meet Every Need and Desire

Here’s a great principle to remember especially in these days when church attendance seems to be waning.

2. A Great Way to Make Friends

Ironically, we have never been more connected and yet never had less real friends. Here’s a simple reminder to get us on the right track.

3. Our Friends Shape Us More Than We Think

And while we’re on the subject of friends, we ought to remember that even when we don’t mean to be, we are very influenced by those closest to us.

4. What You’re Really Hearing When R2-D2 Screams

I love behind the scenes stuff like this.
