Here are some things that tickled my fancy and edified my mind. Check 'em out!

1 >> Read this amazing story of how my new niece Melissa escaped Crimea just in time to become a part of our family. (Kristine is my husband's sister, if you were wondering.)

2 >> My friend Sonya passed this my way and I thank her. It'll improve your day or your money back.

Made this video for fun with my boyfriend a few weeks ago. We came across the clip of these kids dancing and thought it would be funny with some Irish music; and it was. Thanks so much everybody for all the great comments and for sharing all over the place.

3 >> With a surprise inside! "What Worship Style Attracts the Millennials?" (Pastors and leaders, take note!) h/t @anhandal

4 >> A sign of the times, to be sure, and an indication of things to come: "Neither Female Nor Male": Australia's decision to offer a third gender option.
