  1. These Bombs Led Me To Christ<\/span><\/a> (Kim Phuc Phan Thi, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201cYou have seen my pic\u00adture a thou\u00adsand times. It\u2019s a pic\u00adture that made the world gasp\u2014a pic\u00adture that defined my life. I am nine years old, run\u00adning along a pud\u00addled road\u00adway in front of an expres\u00adsion\u00adless sol\u00addier, arms out\u00adstretched, naked, shriek\u00ading in pain and fear, the dark con\u00adtour of a napalm cloud bil\u00adlow\u00ading in the dis\u00adtance.\u201d WHOA. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. If I Were 22 Again<\/span><\/a> (John Piper, Desir\u00ading God): \u201cThere have been about 18,340 days since I turned 22, and I think I have read my Bible on more of those days than I have eat\u00aden. I have cer\u00adtain\u00adly read my Bible on more of those days that I have watched tele\u00advi\u00adsion or videos.\u2026 Read your Bible every day of your life. If you have time for break\u00adfast, nev\u00ader say that you don\u2019t have time for God\u2019s word.\u201d This whole thing is real\u00adly good. High\u00adly rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. What Hap\u00adpened To Alan Der\u00adshowitz?<\/span><\/a> (Evan Man\u00addery, Politi\u00adco Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u201cTalk\u00ading to him, it\u2019s not hard to get the impres\u00adsion that expos\u00ading that truth\u2014the hypocrisy of both sides\u2014may be his ulti\u00admate project. As he sees it, the best way to achieve his goal\u2014and to get it the atten\u00adtion it deserves\u2014is by defend\u00ading the most odi\u00adous clients in the most provoca\u00adtive pos\u00adsi\u00adble way on the very prin\u00adci\u00adples lib\u00ader\u00adals claim to love.\u201d I real\u00adly liked this arti\u00adcle.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. A Mus\u00adlim Among Israeli Set\u00adtlers<\/span><\/a> (Waja\u00adhat Ali, The Atlantic): \u201cEver since the cre\u00adation of the mod\u00adern state of Israel\u2014a mir\u00ada\u00adcle for the Jews, the Nak\u00adba (\u2018cat\u00ada\u00adstro\u00adphe\u2019) for the Palestinians\u2014Jerusalem\u2019s dai\u00adly weath\u00ader fore\u00adcast could be described as sun\u00adny with a slight chance of apoc\u00ada\u00adlypse.\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Give Amnesty for Col\u00adlege Writ\u00adings<\/span><\/a> (David Lat, Wall Street Jour\u00adnal): \u201cCol\u00adle\u00adgiate scrib\u00adblings from decades ago should have no bear\u00ading on one\u2019s fit\u00adness for pub\u00adlic office, and mak\u00ading an issue of them is bad for the coun\u00adtry. Col\u00adlege is tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adly a time of exper\u00adi\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion and explo\u00adration. We adopt and dis\u00adcard ideas and try out dif\u00adfer\u00adent iden\u00adti\u00adties, some\u00adtimes in rapid suc\u00adces\u00adsion. These iden\u00adti\u00adties often bear lit\u00adtle resem\u00adblance to our mature selves\u2014 Hillary Clin\u00adton was once a \u2018Gold\u00adwa\u00adter girl,\u2019 while Clarence Thomas was a Black Pan\u00adther sympathizer\u2014but explor\u00ading them is how we learn about our\u00adselves and acquire wisdom\u2014how we grow up.\u201d<\/span>\n
