Nice post from Rachel Held Evans on 10 tips for dealing with online criticism (as well as regular criticism too.) And a nice link to the prayer of Teresa de Avila. I knew the words from John Michael Talbot but didn’t know the source.

Let nothing upset you,
Let nothing startle you.
All things pass;
God does not change.
Patience wins all it seeks.
Whoever has God lacks nothing:
God alone is enough.

How can God have blessed such evil? How God moves in our dark world in the Old Testament. Nice examples of God using seemingly unseemly things to achieve his purposes.

Freethought criticism of Paul in Acts 13.
