************
I've heard it said many times to "avoid every appearance of evil". The source is from 1 Thessalonians 5:22 in the King James Version. The trouble is that the KJV is translating the verse incorrectly. Here's an explanation of how this verse has been so frequently misused.

Friday Tweet Recap 8-2-13
Here's a roundup of links of interest from my Twitter feed from the past week for your weekend enjoyment:
The U. K. is taking steps to block pornography on the Internet. Should the U. S. do the same?
Last week I proposed stiffer penalties for PED use in baseball. According to this article, some players are on board with the idea.
A heartwarming profile of life in the village of Cooperstown.
Modesty is the new sexy. It's not about wardrobe. "Modesty has to flow from the wellspring of our selves."
This is a great story: A golfer withdraws from a tournament that he's leading forfeiting a potential $1 million dollar payday to be with his wife who is giving birth.
Why guys love Kate Middleton. (Hint: it's not just because she's attractive)
Think you couldn't homeschool? Read this confession of a reluctant homeschool mom.
This is a useful article: An Introvert's Guide to Introverts.
More on Introverts: Justin Lathrop reviews Susan Cain's excellent book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking and makes some good points on why introverts make great leaders. I'm just about finished reading Cain's book and it is a terrific read.
Among CIA museum’s prizes, an American love letter on Hitler’s stationery.
This is cool: A one sentence summary of each of Screwtape's letters.
It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World - The Greatest Slapstick Comedy Ever? You bet!
If you're reading this, it's already too late.
That's it. Have a great weekend.
