A Few Good Reads

Subscribe

Do you ever open the browser on your phone and discover 800+ open tabs? Me too.

I pulled them up yesterday to clear out and start afresh, but the articles represented such a fascinating myriad of topics, I thought catalogue and share them:

1. When I was just thinking about blogging, and where to blog and such, Andrew sent me this informative article: Where to Blog by Monkbent.com, A personal blog by Ben Thompson.  

2. David Perrell has some pretty good thoughts about writing online, and I trust him because not only does he do it well, he's become quite successful at teaching others to do the same. Read The Ultimate Guide to Writing Online

3. In case you were wondering about the Potato Taste Defect in coffee beans (I wasn't, but it was very fascinating), Counter Culture Coffee has an article about it.

4. #1000wordsofsummer is coming back for round two in August. Here's the announcement email from Jami. I'm excited to jump back in to writing more than usual, and reading her super motivating daily messages.

5. Lastly, here's a brief article called 4 Gospel Truths for Miscarriage from a new site I just discovered: Gospel Taboo. Accordinto their website, "Gospel Taboo is a contributer-based platform that provides articles as resources and biblical counseling opportunities." Too many of my friends are going through this sorrow right now, and I think the truth presented in the article is hopeful for both those directly experiencing this type of loss, and for those mourning with those who mourn (Romans 12:15).

Thanks for reading! Let me know what's good in your tabs these days.
