What do you think about this award-winning literacy campaign in France? I think they’re powerful, but I do wish they included stats on the state of illiteracy itself.

Quote reblogged from Southern Girls Do It BetterIf you worship money and things — if they are where you tap real meaning in life — then you will never have enough. Never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you. On one level, we all know this stuff already — it’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, bromides, epigrams, parables: the skeleton of every great story. The trick is keeping the truth up-front in daily consciousness. Worship power — you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart — you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out.

Quote reblogged from Marley.and.MeWhy didn’t God take away the scars? Because it was the most powerful story. Jesus didn’t even cover up His scars. They were healed wounds. Our scars are witnesses to the world. They are apart of our story. Healed wounds are symbols that God has restored us.

World’s Most Beautiful Abandoned Places
Italian product manager and web designer Francesco Mugnai recently added a collection of images to his blog touting some of the most beautiful images of abandoned spots and modern ruins that he’d ever seen. The images Mugnai has captured come from empty castles, shuttered power plants, and dilapidated churches around the world. From a sunken yacht in Antarctica to a forever-closed amusement park in Japan, these images all make up a sort of anti-phoenix; rather than rising as new from the ashes, these husks remain preserved in decomposition, forcing viewers to confront the strange beauty of ruination.

Two thousand years later, I wonder how far we have wandered from this path. Somewhere along the way, amid varying cultural tides and popular church trends, it seems that we have minimized Jesus’ summons to total abandonment. Churches are filled with supposed Christians who seem content to have casual association with Christ while giving nominal adherence to Christianity. Scores of men, women, and children have been told that becoming a follower of Jesus simply involves acknowledging certain facts or saying certain words. But this is not true. Disciples like Peter, Andrew, James, John, show us that the call to follow Jesus is not simply an invitation to pray a prayer; it’s a summons to lose our lives.David Platt // Follow Me (p. 4)

Quote reblogged from A Pretty PasticheFacebook connects people with friends and family. Twitter shows everyone what’s happening right now. LinkedIn helps people engage with colleagues and professional acquaintances. Tumblr harnesses the enthusiasm around a particular topic and coalesces into a community.
For brands, this simplifies the process of audience segmentation, because Tumblr provides a built-in audience that has already opted into following specific tags and topics. In turn, brands can post highly targeted content with interest-related tags, and easily reach communities of fans.“Why 2013 Is The Year You Need To Get Serious About Tumblr” (via aprettypastiche)2013 is the year to focus on Tumblr. Then again, it’s the one place I consider my online “escape.”
