Weekend Linkage

It has been a little while since I posted a Weekend Linkage post and I thought this weekend was a good time to start it up again.

• Mavs have won 8 of 9 so things are looking up some now.
• Here’s something not covered much in the US media, there is a lot of pushback in India from Muslims over the recent attacks.
• Here’s a post from Kingdom Grace on Disciples or Converts? something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately.
• Maybe a financial crisis is what it takes to get us thinking about how we were spending our money, I know that statement is not fair to every situation right now but the fact is our priorities are wacked out.  Americans spend $450 billion on Christmas – It would cost $10 billion to solve the water crisis in the world.  I know $10 billion is a lot of money, but put next to $450 billion it seems like a ridiculous bargain.  Check out Living Water International
  or Dollar for a Drink
• Other alternative gift ideas:
  • Kiva Loans – micro loans
  • Heifer International – give a goat
  • The charity, mission, or cause of your choice here or here
• A friend of mine is rocking a mustache for the kids, check it out at ZackNewsome.com
• I just blogged about the Blue Parakeet, now Scot himself is doing it – see what he says
• Jay Lorenzen on Movement Leaders as Heretics
