What Is Gleanings?

At Christianity Today, we’re constantly tracking important developments in the church and the world. Often we use our network of reporters around the world (and for that, visit our main site). But we also monitor other news outlets, bloggers, newsmakers’ social media feeds, and countless other information streams. Gleanings compiles the most urgent and interesting items we’ve found, explains why you need to know about them, and gives you the background you need to understand them. It’s our snapshot of what God is doing in the world, hour by hour.

Bring Out the Hankies

"I was in prison, and you visited me."

This might have been the real Super Bowl of the year . . .

Great Story! I'd like to send a card to each member of the Tornadoes. Is that possible?

I have been coaching at the collegiate level for over 36 years and this is what it is all about. Winning or losing is an outcome of several things. The strength of your team, the strength of your opponent, circumstances and finally luck. The third factor, circumstances defined success that night. Everyone played to win, to be at their best, and that is all we should ask our student athletes to do. Unfortunately the media and commercialism has hijacked "the joy of sport". May all Christian high schools and Christian universities have as their mission "play hard and act right for His glory alone."

This is so powerful! It is the little things in life that are the most impactful and nothing is more powerful than love.

Awesome!

OK, so I am on a role. This is worth the few minutes. I know it will bring a tear of joy to your adorable soul.
Loving you~

Is it possible to get a copy of this clip for use in a non-profit setting to illustrate the theme of a presentation I am making?
