• Read Mark's post on Care for Creation to Care for the Poor
• I had a discussion with Peter on whether consumerism is new
• My friend Gareth links to a very cool bit of guitar playing
• If you haven't read The Screwtape Letters you should, and this audio production of it with Andy Serkis sounds great
• Will Willimon ponders on the questions of Christians as Consumers or Disciples?
• Josh Harris posted this poem by Isaac Watts which I thought was pretty good
• Tim Challies on parenting here is great. I love his opening question
• Justin Taylor links to a post on The McDonaldization of America - nowhere is further than 145 miles from a McDonalds. I wonder how far from a bookstore or a church?
• And if you need further evidence that the world is mad, then just have a read of this side to the property market
