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

1. Why We Need to Talk About Obedience

Yes, we do. Weirdly, it has become a little unfashionable to do so, as if talking about grace is incompatible with obedience. It’s not.

2. The Whale and the Cow

Here’s a little piece of the Jonah story I’d never thought of.

3. Slowly Going Blind

Something to be careful of – one of the ways we are robbed of wonder and beauty and yes, love, is by seeing it over and over again.

4. Aragorn V. Sauron Unreleased Scene

This was a pretty neat compilation of unreleased footage and storyboards of what an alternate ending might have looked like.
