Due to like, a mindlessly wild day at work today, the article about self-disclosure won’t be ready until later this afternoon. I hope you all are anxiously awaiting it’s arrival. Until then, I’ll give links to my fave blogs so you can go check out the sweet stuff they’re talking about (lucky ducks- having enough time to blog today. argh) 🙂
Martha Stewart Craft of the day
Are there sweeter words than “craft-of-the-day?” I think not 🙂
You know all those ridiculous TV commercials that show children starving in the middle of Africa. And then they ask you for money? DON’T do it.
Do this instead – find out about Compassion. Because it’s not about throwing money at the poor – it’s about sharing hope. If we are truly about the ‘least of these’ let’s show them!

Here’s a quick run-down of the first 10 things that come to my mind this Tuesday morning.
1. An interesting piece on Christian artists over at Between Two Worlds
2. The second book for classically inclined, “Clergyman’s Daughter” by George Orwell
3. A great resource on modern reformation called White Horse Inn, if you like listening instead of reading
4. The song Tuesday by Sarah Masen
5. The stack of books I am reading (or aim to read): True Spirituality, Clergyman’s Daughter, Little Women, The Adolescent, The Reason for God, oh my!
6. The nagging, relentless run-on sentence in the book I’m composing in my mind
7. Spring means babies! My friends and family are welcoming spring with new life…Amaya and Titus and two more on the way.. sadly all in different states!
8. The devastation in Myanmar …
9. The joy of carpooling (this time not because I don’t have a car, but because I can’t afford gas)
10. It’s best to start the day waking up smiling
I will write more later…
Today again I will defer
my mind, stubborn will not concur
I have only to recommend
the thoughts and wisdom, freely lent
though sometimes late, I’m known to dwell
Read with me, these thoughts are swell

This is a story in Christianity Today interviewing the director of Prince Caspian. For the whole story, click here.
The Weight of Story
Director Andrew Adamson, whose latest Narnia movie, Prince Caspian, releases to theaters next week, fully feels the burden to get it just right.
| posted 05/06/08
Why’d you change this? Why did you leave out that? How come you didn’t …
Andrew Adamson has heard all those questions, and then some. When you’re trying to adapt some of the best-loved children’s books of all time into big-screen movies, there will be plenty of naysayers and nitpickers, and Adamson fully expected it.
 The director sizes up a scene  |
Already an acclaimed director for the first two Shrek films, Adamson stepped into a whole ‘nother world, literally and figuratively, when he took on the first two Narnia films—2005’s The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and the sequel Prince Caspian, which opens in theaters May 16.
We recently chatted by phone with the 41-year-old director, who was working on final edits and polishing up special effects in a London studio. His wife and daughters (Isabelle, 4½, and Sylvie, 2½) were living with him in London—sort of a home between homes for the New Zealand natives. After living in Los Angeles for more than a decade (making the Shrek and then the Narnia movies), Adamson will take a break after this one, moving back to his home country for some R&R and extended time with his family.
And he’ll pass the Narnia torch on to Michael Apted, the veteran British director behind such films as Amazing Grace and James Bond’s The World Is Not Enough. Apted is directing The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, slated for a 2010 release—and Adamson, who will stay on as a producer, assures fans that the franchise is in good hands.

I’ve been wanting to post this video for awhile to see what people think, so here’s the last link to John Piper’s “The Gospel in 6 minutes.” How does this strike you?
