1. The top 100 brands by value: Interesting infographic from visualize. Most surprising to me was that US companies made up half of the 100 brands. Unsurprisingly, China has a lot of companies represented as well.

2. Thirteen years of coming back: I just love this post from Brianna Lambert. “Thirteen years of marriage, and Lord-willing many more ahead. I look back, and I see the beauty of a promise that won’t let go. I see two people, linked by an invisible cord. Though trial, sickness, and sin stretches it taut, the Lord won’t see that it breaks. Instead, the cord leads us back together, as we slowly pull ourselves nearer. Back to rest, back to forgiveness, back to joy, back to the hand I love to hold, and back to the love that started it all.”

3. Read like a Christian: A simple, but profound post by Samuel James. I agree with everything he says here, like, “Read with generosity, not grievance. Here’s a diagnostic question for all of us that read and (especially) review books: Do we practice the Golden Rule? Do we read others the way we would want to be read?”

4. Shepherding children through exposure to pornography: Darby Strickland’s article is sobering and wise. “God does not want our children to be caught off guard by evil—that is why his Word is full of warnings about it. Pray for God to give you the courage and the conviction to prepare and protect your children.”

5. World sports photography awards: The winning photo is so good. I also love the martial arts photo. What’s your favorite?
