Soap: it is something almost all of us use every day without a second thought. But the fact is that there are many in the world who cannot even afford soap. So, Derreck Kayongo is running an organization to help provide soap to those in impoverished countries who cannot afford it. How does he propose to do this? By recycling used hotel soaps that would be thrown away. So, instead of taking up room in a landfill, these bars are able to be used to prevent disease among some of the most needy people! I strongly encourage you to take a look at their site (http://www.globalsoap.org/) and see what you can do to help.

Folk Eschatology
At funerals, and at other times, I often hear people talk about others "Going to Heaven", or something along those lines, as the final state and what the believer is supposed to look forward to. However, the Biblical picture of hope for the believer is not that their disembodied spirit is floating in Heaven, but rather that they will be resurrected to new life upon Christ's return. So, when I saw this post, I was overjoyed! The author did a really good job with it, please go read it!
