Below are some articles, pictures, posts, and videos that made me think – or just brought a welcome chuckle - this week:

Putting a face on the immigration debate.
Creating a worship experience out of boiling an egg, or using the seemingly mundane activities of our lives to provide glimpses of the coming Kingom.
Check out Henry Arnold and Ben Pearson (of A Million Miles in a Thousand Years fame) discussing their recent book, Kabul 24: The Story of a Taliban Kidnapping and Unwavering Faith in the Face of True Terror, about the capture of 24 aid workers in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2001.
Jim Wallis with a “whole new approach” on Afghanistan. On a related note, read Matthew Hoh’s letter of resignation (the internet is a wonderful thing).
Halloween this weekend kicks off the holiday season, but this year’s parties and presents don’t have to break the bank. Check out this article for ideas on how to save a little money and practice hospitality at the same time!
Some adorable babies celebrating the International Day of Climate Action on October 24th.
Looking for some Christmas gifts already? Great book recommendations on a holistic faith from Hearts and Minds for all you readers out there.
Please tell me you’re not a scoot refuser.
I’ve always been fascinated by those that refer to themselves as Luddites.
As if I needed more reasons to waste time, check out the funniest people on Twitter (my personal favorite: “you know when your math teacher asked you to carry the 1? I still don’t know what that means.”).
