Weekly Links! Welcome-to-Advent Edition


SOME INTERESTING LINKS FOR YOUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON, SET OUT IN MY USUAL CATEGORIES OF FAITH, FAMILY, AND FICTION.



Faith 

-"The Advent Project": Biola is hosting The Advent Project again. Every day during Advent (and also, I think, every day of Christmas), they'll be posting a seasonal devotion with scripture, written meditation, art, and music. Recommended!

-My Advent Pinterest page: As I said on Twitter, this is really a "baby" Pinterest board, in that I have fewer than twenty pins so far. But it's growing, and the stuff that's already there is pretty good! Take a look, and let me know if you know of any pins I should add.


-"How to Deal with Erratic Corpulent Ginger Authoritarian Much-Married Rulers: Options for Christians in Public Life": This is very clever.


-"The Virtue of Tolerance"


-"The Bravery of Glennon Doyle Melton"-a snippet:
No amount of embracing the self will cure the ills of the soul. No Amount. There is nothing you can do to love yourself enough to rescue your soul from death. You can’t. 

-"The Church's Outsourcing of Women's Discipleship"


-"The Great War's damage to the English soul and the church": I've never read this perspective before. It was interesting.



Family 

-"Quit Social Media. Your Career May Depend on It."


-"Advent Reading": a fantastic list of books to read to children this Advent.


Fiction 

-"How Realistic is the Way Amy Adams' Character Hacks the Alien Language in Arrival? We Asked a Linguist."

-"Protect Your Library the Medieval Way, with Horrifying Book Curses": Relevant to the interests of all devoted readers.


Have a lovely Sunday evening!

Peace of Christ to you,

I'm on Pinterest! (for some reason)


Pinterest, you guys. Who knew?

Yeah, yeah. Everyone but me, apparently. :)



But I'm there now!  Here are a few of the boards I've been putting together:

"Dinnertime!": this one is where I'm collecting recipes. And pinning a few of my own.

"Potluck Ideas": because my church is a potluck church.

"The Castle on the Mountain": for that amazing home/castle/estate my husband I will surely own one day.

"Intergalactic Space Princess": heroine chic. (Guys, this one's my favorite.)



I'm also working on putting together some boards for each of the seasons in the church year, which I hope to have go live starting in Advent.

I hope I see you over there!


Peace of Christ to you,
Jessica Snell
