• Notes on Leadership: Be Like Steve Jobs, . . . And Bill Campbell, And Andy Grove
  TechCrunch
  
  Editor’s note: When venture capitalists invest in early stage startups, more than anything else they are investing in the founders of the company and their ability to lead their employees through the most improbable set of circumstances to take an idea from a germ to a real and profitable business.

• Thinking about our mothers
  Good in Parts
  
  Such a lovely morningEnough people in both churches to make me feel hopeful, a goodly gaggle of children down in the valley and even a rather charming and utterly unexpected family up the hillSpace to be real about the pain that Mothering Sunday brings to many, without, I hope, making those who wanted to celebrate feel their joy was unwelcome.The highlight f […]
• Sunday Funnies
  The Infusion
  
  I don't think I can do better than recommend you read The Bloggess' story of being stabbed by a chicken. Excerpt:Went to the ER this morning. Explained the situation.

Check out the list so far at this link, and let us know if you know of a page that should be added. We can't add individual churches, unfortunately, but you are […]

As I read them, I'm so deeply touched and encouraged. I realize how blessed I am to be abl […]

  The Telegraph has it: The industrial action was called by the Public & Commercial Services Union, which also represents civil servants, amid claims that it is not “Christian behaviour” to freeze workers’ pay.
