Resources for the Light Chasers (Vol. 3)

I'm so blessed by the light chasers that fill this worldwide web with pure light. Let's be real and admit that the interwebs can be a dark place. I've long been of the opinion that we, the Gospel loving Easter people, need to take this thing by the horns and use our sphere of internet influence to redeem it for good.

Here are a few links to fill you with light today. Some are recent finds and others are articles I come back to again and again for the way they bolster hope in my heart or make me reflect deeply.
