AeroPress: How MacGyver Brews Coffee – I grew up watching MacGyver. While my brother was more of a fan that I was, and was always dismantling something to figure out how it worked, I was just as excited each week to see what MacGyver would do, and more importantly… how he would do it. This video demonstrates how MacGyver would use an aeropress to brew his coffee. Worth a laugh or two.

The Deep Sea Mystery Circle – Have you ever noticed just how much order God instilled into his creation? It’s everywhere, from flowers and trees, to animals, and even in the oceans. Divers off the coast of Japan found some intricate designs in the sand on the sea floor. You’ll be surprised to find out what the culprit was.

Above The Clouds Photography – On my recent trip to Colorado, I looked out my window of the airplane and saw some similar images to what you’ll see here. The thought even crossed my mind that some shots would be cool to have, but my camera phone, and a scratchy airliner window were not conducive to great shooting conditions. So I guess we’ll have to settle for these instead.

Why Zombies Matter – I’ve never been a huge zombie movie fan. Sure, I’ve seen my share of Night Of The Living Dead revisions, but the appeal has always been lost. In an article by Russell Moore, however, my thinking has been broadened. He takes a look at the concept of zombiism from a biblical perspective and comes to some stunning conclusions that blew my mind away. (Like all the brain references?)

I’ve seen so many families fall apart because of the lack of spiritual leadership in the home of many in the ministry. Andy Naselli shares his notes and a video from Strengthening Your Marriage In Ministry, a one day convention in August at Southern Seminary.

A Lesson On Impermanence From A Ruined Baseball – Most of us regard our possessions too highly. I know I am guilty of this. I get too protective and grouchy when the kids want to use something of mine. Maybe we just need to let go.

Eric Lomax – While the obituary page isn’t where I normally find inspiration, in this case it does. This obituary tells briefly the story of Eric Lomax, who was a Japanese prisoner of war during World War 2. Interrogated and tortured ruthlessly, Lomax eventually was released, only to be continually tortured by his mind, memories and post-traumatic stress. What eventually led to his healing was the forgiveness and reconciliation of his primary captor. With a heavy theme of forgiveness and grace, his story is simply incredible!
