Kelly and I just finished watching Roman Holiday. This magical film takes the dream of being queen for a day in reverse: briefly allowing a princess to escape her responsilbities for an experience in the real world. The film raises some interesting questions about responsibility vs. self fulfillment. While our culture often encourages us to follow our dreams, maybe sometimes we are challenged to lay aside those dreams and choose something higher than self satisfaction.

FOUND Magazine offers a fascinating glimpse of the things we throw away.
I recently discovered a fascinating early African American poet: Phillis Wheatley. She has an interesting history: captured and enslaved at a young age. In spite of her conditions, Wheatley rose above learning to read and write and eventually receiving her freedom.
Ed Rosen recomended 9Marks. Interesting site. Excellent articles and interviews from a Reformed perspective.
I was looking for some ideas for reading the Bible. Found an interesting resource today. Bible Reading Plans offers several possiblities.
