Lisa Notes: Links I like (6/8/12)

Giving up hope. This one made me cry. Sometimes you have to stop hoping in one direction to hope in another. From my now (!) in-real-life blogging friend Amy.

Church conflict: Are you the complainer? The never-changer? Practical advice from Ed Cyzewski (I never know where on the web I’ll find Ed next).

It’s entitled what “What Every Husband Should Know about Stay-at-Home Moms”, but it’s really applicable to all moms. Well, all women. Well, all people! We all need guidance out of our inner chaos.

Two things you need to get unstuck. One thing is a vacuum. It’s from Seth Godin so expect concise and pointed. (I love that.)

10 YA books that scarred us for life. I ran it by my girls. They agreed on a few; disagreed on several (me, too). Any scar you? (Um, think Lord of the Flies—I hated that book...). Others include Hatchet, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Chronicles of Narnia (really? no way!), . . .

What desire should shape our prayers? I want to re-read this again and again.

10 YA that scarred us for life? No kidding on Lord of the Flies--and what on earth were they thinking when they mentioned Chronicles of Narnia? Since when is that a messed up message to be giving kids? 'Sideswich, you don't have to die to go to Narnia--Narnia is wherever Aslan is. The knack is learning His name and getting to know Him whichever world you're in.

Love your analysis of Narnia.

The list was kinda funny in spots. I'd like to see you write a true list. :-) You're definitely a book expert.

My 23-yr-old analyzed that in most dog stories you expect the dogs to die at the end anyway. That the girl dying in Bridge caught her off guard because she didn't know it was coming. That the Narnia series (she read the whole series probably 10 times) was some of the very best books you could ever read. That she LOVES Jack London's books, and Call of the Wild was one of her very favorite books ever.

I've bookmarked your link on prayer! SO much food for thought...thank you, Lisa.
My recent post A Recommendation …and why

I loved seeing the list of verses point us so fully to God's glory. One reason I wanted to post it here was so I could easily find it again when I need to return to it. :-)
