The Simple List is my way of pointing you to something redeeming on the webs, something thought provoking or eye-catching or soul-refreshing.

I hope these links are reminders of the simplest things that make a good life: truth, goodness, beauty.

I can't quite decide where to categorize this one, because it's Truth and Goodness and Beauty. I'm putting it here because it's always good to be reminded of the rhythm of rest in our lives.

"I’ve never regretting loving or encouraging or celebrating something. I have often regretted slamming or dismissing or criticizing something, because when I do that online, it’s outside of relationship, outside of shared understanding, outside of context."
