March newsletters will reach inboxes today (if you aren’t on the list, please sign up here and don’t miss another one!), and in it we’re talking about being reminded of the gift of sight. As we head into the final weeks of Lent, it’s a good reminder to reflect on the physical presence of Jesus on this Earth.

If you’re like me, you’ve been a little confused as to how to handle the whole Stop KONY campaign for myself, not to mention when my kids ask about it. On one hand, I want justice in the world, and I know biblically we’ve been called to seek it. On the other hand, I have also read the criticism of the practices the organization spearheading the campaign uses to carry out their organizational mission.

Steve Haas, Chief Catalyst for World Vision recently provided the following analysis of the viral campaign. Read his thoughts here.

Whether you’re in the carpool line or taking a quick break at work, here are a few quick articles we think it will be worth you’re time to read.

Living a Life Worth Imitating by Ann Kroeker – “Our kids are watching us, picking up on what they see and hear. They’re imitating us.” (lots of links to other great articles in this post, too!)

What it Means to be Human by Mark D. Roberts – “Ash Wednesday reminds us of our inherent humanness.”

The Telegram by Megan Wilome – “If my dad had not complained about an anonymous telegram, he and my mom might never have gotten married.” (and read more from the “I Do” series here.)

We like to share great articles on Facebook, so if you haven’t followed us there, please do!

From a recent Family Camp participant: “It was a short but great retreat where we can focus on prayer in a serene setting without the distractions of everyday life.”

I’ll be the first to admit, that I sometimes think that church dramatic presentations can sometimes be cheesy and melodramatic. But give this particular video a chance, and I think you’ll find the visual presentation of the Gospel as moving as I did. The imagery here has stayed with me a long time. A perfect way to think about love here on the day before Valentine’s.

At Family Camp we enjoy laughing and having fun. Here’s a light-hearted way to start the week. Liz has set out to “learn” something new from her friends every week and posts her video journal to share her journey. Check it out!

Dan King interviewed author Margaret Feinberg recently, and I loved what she had to say about igniting your passion for God. Check it out!
