Disturbing Photos + This Week on the Web
So yesterday’s post was about all the troubled marriages making news this week, and because I like to include a graphic with each piece, I went to stock.xchng to get a free stock photo to use.
I entered “marriage” into the search field, and guess what came up:
What the heck? Looks like we can add one more item to our list of things that actually threaten the sanctity of marriage - stock photos.
Perhaps some captions are in order?

On the Web this week, you might want to check out: Peter Bregman’s article, “Don’t get outraged at Sanford” on CNN.com; Peter Rollins’ post on what makes someone a theologian; Brian McLaren’s interesting (and probably controversial) piece on sexuality.
I recently discovered “Conversion Diary,” a very cool blog from fellow writer Jennifer Fulwiler about her journey from atheism to Catholicism.
Also bumped into an old Out of Ur post from Scot McKnight about how he believes the work of N.T. Wright and Chris Wright best embody where theology is headed over the next few years, arguing that the two Wrights have “set before us two words that have become increasingly fruitful and I think will be the subject of serious theological reflection in the future. The two words are ‘earth’ and ‘mission.’” I’ve been reading a lot of N.T. lately, but haven’t had a chance to pick up Chris’s The Mission of God. Great. Another book to buy! :-)
I try to check out my readers’ blogs regularly and have been super-impressed, though I don’t always have time to comment. By the way, if you think Paul VanderKlay’s comments are smart here, check out hisblog. So much to think about!
So, what struck your interest on the Web this week? What are you writing about on your blog? (No shame in self-promotion here, folks!)
