If you were wondering where I’ve been the past week, I was in Scotland visiting family and then in the Netherlands for a John Owen Conference (where I gave one address and did a lot of listening). Usually I’d manage to keep up some kind of blogging but my “body clock” was all over the place with jet-lag meaning I was only getting about 3-4 hours sleep a night. So, here I am in Detroit airport waiting for the last leg of my return journey to Grand Rapids and thought I’d use the time to post links to articles that I appreciated in the past week.

Enjoy!

Normal service will be resume next week.
