Blessed, blessed rain. Wednesday was 57 degrees! I wore a sweatshirt. The girls got to wear their boots. One day I even wore jeans AND a sweater. With socks and shoes, even! I know my joy is the stress of people who live in flash flood areas. I'm sad about that; I really am. (also about the people who had tickets for ACL's last day of shows.)
But I can't stop saying it anyway: Blessed, blessed rain!!

Banksy on the streets of New York at The Guardian: "The internet lacerated itself for not buying Banskys at a 10,000% discount. But would you recognize art if it wasn't marked as such?Banksy, who can't write the word "elephant" on a water tanker without having it crated off and auctioned, made something that was fake – until the magic moment it turned out to be real."
Banksy and the Economy of Grace at Think Christian: I enjoyed this follow up to the Banksy pop up sale. Yes, the kingdom of heaven is definitely like this.

This week's surprise gift came in the form of apples and cider donuts hand delivered from Georgia. I couldn't help it; I had to make applesauce.
This week other people wrote good words online:
Corinna Nicolaou of "One None Gets Some" on episode 1 of the Two Cities podcast: Nicolaou talks graciously and energetically about her ambitious project, a blog designed to be a platform to share the results of a project she started two years ago: an exploration of religion from the perspective of someone who grew up without any (statisticians call this segment of the population “Nones”). She decided to start with Christianity and see where it took her.
