thinking thursday.
Every Thursday, just a few links I've discovered, things I'm thinking about. And, of course, a link somewhere to Johnny Depp because, I mean really, look at the man.
(Where I can follow the serendipitous thread I followed to get there, I'll include a thanks to the person who surfaced it for me.)

body :: my place and yours

soul :: my heart and yours

What is his greatest fear?
Yes, we're gay, but… Important message about seeing people as "who" and not "what." (Thanks to Greg Fine)
If you read nothing else today, read this, a story about a man who loves his son. Yes, read this. (Thanks to Murr Brewster)
A final thought :: "If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." -Mother Teresa
