I am back building out my OPML list again. Kind of particular.

1. Technology sources - More just from thought leaders outside of the .Net / Azure space. Have amazing ones from here.

2. Christian sources - I have some aggregators and some of the big ones. I am interested in ensuring that the sources are not just talking points for a certain party, but are for my life learning.

3. Inspirational sources - Broad category, but don't want click bait here.

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?’” (NIV, John 11:25–26)

Scientists Free From Religious · What if Christianity is Making Us Face Death as Children?By Jorge Guerra Pires, PhD

According to #TheDisciplesWay the #FourthWeekofLent is about #Service This is a tricky one. #Christianity is primarily about serving others, at least that’s what the gospels, including today’s lesson (Matthew 20:26b-28) tells us. It’s not something many of us, who call ourselves #Christians do very well. Instead of looking into the souls of others & celebrating the image of the Divine in them, we seem to be turning away from anyone who does not show us God exactly as we perceive God to be & we are totally willing to force everyone, including God, to be what we think He should be. The problem is: that’s not God, nor is it what we are called to be as Christians. Jesus changed the world by emptying himself for the sake of others. We, in contrast, are trying to hold onto everything we have & grab ever more. We will succeed in changing the world, but not in a good way, because we want to be at the center of everything. We have forgotten, or never learned, how to be selfless like God is.
