Here are some of the things that really caught my eye this week in blogland:

A trio of links from Z:

All three of his posts on Spiritual Alzheimer's. (Think Piper's book Future Grace in super, super condensed form.

And, a quoted post on the emergency of giving.

Excellent prayer from Melinda at STR.

A little bit of encouragement from the 9 Marks blog.
