friday favorites {random}

1. The Hunger Games meets So You Think You Can Dance

Saige wanted to have a dance contest, with Meadow being the judge. Well Reed, of course, wanted to play too. He decided his role would be the executioner, with Meadow telling him if Saige passed or not. According to Reed, Saige never passed and was unfortunately shot many times.

2. Of course, getting to see Baby Girl was a favorite this week

3.Great article over at The Rabbit Room about Steven Curtis Chapman

  "I’ve been in Nashville for 15 years now, and, well, you tend to hear less-than-flattering stories about folks from time to time (I’m sure there are a few about me floating around out there), but I have yet to hear one of those about Steven. What that might lead a rascal like me to conclude is that either a) Steven is so squeaky-clean he must be hard to like or b) he’s a complete wreck and he’s hiding it. I didn’t realize until this tour was underway that there’s a third option. Here it is: Steven is a wreck, he’s not hiding it, and because of the mighty presence of Jesus in his life, grace abounds to those around him." Read more here.

4. Brothers and Sisters

 

 In light of the news this week, I thought this article by Doug Wilson was so timely. 

"Boys should be taught that they are to protect their sisters "from the dragon," and the very first thing this means is that they must refrain from turning into the dragon themselves. When the protector turns into the very thing that protection is needed from, the result for the girl involved is nightmarish." Read more here.
