Well done for making it to the weekend. Maybe, just maybe I’m starting to find a little blogging groove again, I hope I’m not speaking too soon. Anyway, here is a collection of interesting things to watch, listen, look and read.

From the archives
Sent: By a family together on a mission: “It was then profoundly moving to have those same thousands pray with great passion, vigour and faith and to have people ahead of you in the journey come to you, lay on hands and pray for you as if they were coming with you. It was a remarkable privilege.”
Have a great weekend.
