I have a question for those of you who have me on Google Reader: on some blogs I have there I see what looks like separate posts with the blogger’s links from Delicious in between their regular posts. Do you see that with mine? I was thinking if they show up there it is kind of redundant to put them here on Saturdays.
Also, a few weeks ago I had a link to vote for my assistant pastor to win a handicap-accessible van. Thanks to those who voted. Unfortunately he did not win but is trusting God to supply some other way.
Here is my weekly round-up of interesting things seen round the Web:
Steve Saint, author of End of the Spear and son of Nate Saint who was killed with Jim Elliot and three other missionaries by the Indian tribe they were trying to reach in the late 50s or early 60s, was paralyzed in a serious accident last week. Here is his testimony just six days later:
I Was Confronted For Being Immodest. I really appreciate Courtney’s response here, even though the woman who confronted her did not go about it in the best way.

Should We Lead Someone to Pray the Sinner’s Prayer? Thought-provoking.
Queen Elizabeth Gives away 450,000 New Testaments to Celebrate Her Diamond Jubilee, HT to Lizzie.
A neat idea for baby showers about half-way down this post: an invitation to bring a child’s book rather than a card, with a cute poem.

At the moment Joni Eareckson Tada’s book A Place of Healing is free for the Kindle.
Seen around Facebook:
It took me a minute to get this one (for those not Star Trek fans, the character’s name is Worf.):


Thanks for linking up to the Saint video. I had heard about that also and loved that you linked it! That video will likely have some incredible impact. It’s amazing. (I cried!)
Took me a minute on the Snow White one. Good thing you shared his name as I’ve never really watched Star Trek.
I have you on my Google Reader but I don’t see the links from Delicious.
And I love your laudable linkage posts, fyi! There’s always something (if not many things) that I’m interested in.
