Across the Universe – December 4, 2009

Here are some posts, videos, etcetera that piqued my interest this week:

• Lots of talk this week about Obama’s speech and his decision regarding Afghanistan. I found Andrew Bacevich’s take on things the most compelling. What do you think?
• Sign up for the always wonderful Englewood Review of Books and receive a free e-book (one of your choices is the newest Ragan Sutterfield, which I highly recommend)!
• Check out this video interview with Scott Harrison from charity:water and his vision for the church.
• On the importance of small steps – wherever you are.
• As a suburbanite, I found this article very interesting…just what should we do about the ‘burbs?
• In this, the first week of Advent, a good reminder about waiting.
• Who was that teacher who told you that you could be anything you wanted to be? Mine was Miss Byers, fourth grade. Every kid should have at least one Miss Byers in their life, if you ask me.

I need your help! Send me your interesting reads from your weekly internet wanderings!
