Weekend Links - March 8, 2014

Bet you thought I wouldn't have a link post this week, right? Well, better late than never. And, alas, with time change, this is quite a bit later than I would like. I should be in bed right now!

Spiritual / Inner Life

• Jesus, Friend of Sinners: But How? Kevin DeYoung wrote this brilliant, necessary post.
• Maybe Christians Should Cut Matthew McConaughey Some Slack by Marty Duren. I've seen posts for and against whatever it was Mr. McConaughey said or didn't say in his Oscar acceptance speech. This is my favorite. (And no, I didn't watch the Oscars. But I did read about it the next day, primarily to see what everyone was wearing.)
• I'm Scared of Being Mediocre by Ari at Mabel + Riv. (brief bad language warning) This one resonated with me.
• Internet Communication by the DHM at The Common Room. Thought provoking and this INTJ found herself heartily agreeing.

Creativity / Writing

• The Weird Strategy Dr. Seuss Used to Create His Greatest Work (And Why You Should Use It, Too) by James Clear.
• Why Writers are the Worst Procrastinators by Megan McArdle.
• 18 Things Highly Creative People Do Differently by Layla at The Lettered Cottage.

Parenting

• 7 Highly Effective Ways to Raise Lazy and Entitled Children by Jen at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam.

Just for fun because it made me laugh: Sleep Guidelines Reminder by The Honest Toddler. The iBoy may not be a toddler yet but he's got the "Wakey, wakey" thing down.

Interesting article since we happen to be talking about time: How Much Is Time Wrong Around the World? from The Poor Man's Math Blog.

If you have time for one more link, please check out my post: Earn Your Stripes (and My Appreciation). It means a lot to my daughter and therefore it means a whole lot to me.

So, what caught your eye this week?
