1. Every nightmare starts as a dream: Erik Raymond warns us, “No one sets out to bring misery upon themselves. Quite the opposite. They are looking for fulfillment. They want happiness. They are chasing the dream. But remember, every nightmare starts as a dream.”

2. Pain needs interpreting: Simon Arscott, “My job is to help people interpret their pain. Pain itself – though very unpleasant – doesn’t tell us much. It hurts. It’s uncomfortable. It’s upsetting. We don’t want it. Often, we just want it to go away! But good spiritual care requires interpretation of our pain.”

3. Help! I don’t like evangelizing: Daniel Hames says, “We worry what other people might think of us if we start “Bible-thumping.” Fear of failure keeps us from sharing the gospel in the shadow of rejection or indifference. We don’t feel well equipped.”

4. 81 random facts that you might not know: Some interesting science and technology facts on this list. The first three are, “1. Mars has seasons, and in the winter, it snows. 2. Bats are arguably the healthiest mammals on Earth. 3. Mammal milk changes depending on the time of day, a baby’s age and sex, the mom’s diet, and more.”

5. Carpool karaoke with Tim Keller: Keller has since passed, but this brought a smile to my face.
