Monday Potpourri

Lot's of great stuff coming down the wire today.

This is the intro paragraph to an article about closing doors that I found at the ashram blog:

The next time you’re juggling options — which friend to see, which house to buy, which career to pursue — try asking yourself this question: What would Xiang Yu do?

You can read the full article here: The Advantages of Closing a Few Doors (John Tierney, The New York Times, 26 Feb 2008).

Rather than asking WWXYD, the Dotted Line Shirt Company (associated with The Simple Way) is having some fun with WWJD. Going too far?

In other news, check out biblical Lego Land--The Brick Testament.

My sister sent me this article on depression. The author ponders the blessings that depression can bring. Curious? Read on--Is depression good for you? (Tom Geoghagen, BBC.com, 28 Feb 2008).

Also, if you haven't visited TED recently, it might be time for a rendezvou.

Finally, calling all Michigan ordinary radicals. Shane Claiborne is going to be in Troy on March 9. You don't want to miss it. Related media--The Irresistible Revolution, Jesus for President, The Ordinary Radicals.
