Kirk Cameron witnessing to gang members
This is an awesome video of Kirk Cameron witnessing. To gang members. Really! I was thinking about showing this video at TIGS on Friday.
May this video encourage and inspire you. God's great gospel is for clean-cut suburban kids who've never cussed in their lives, and it's also for gang members who commit felonies more often than they shave.

Listen up, ladies!
Gavin's message on Friday on Titus 2 reminded me of two websites:
1) girl talk
2) Radical Womanhood.
Paul teaches that older women should train younger women in certain ways:
So as you grow into a woman, take care that you grow into a Biblical one. These two sites won't replace having personal relationships with older, godly women, but these sites should provide some help.
You don't have to read everything on there. Just skim through and start with the things that look interesting to you. Or look there when you have questions about beauty (see GT's section on beauty or RW's "Bodies and Beauty" section). Or about modesty. Or Biblical Womanhood or Biblical Femininity. And so on.
So don't ignore these sites! If you don't believe me (and I know you do believe me, but I'm just saying), ask Kim--she'd wholeheartedly agree with me on these sites.

"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled" (Titus 2:3-5).

Religulous reviews
Bill Maher's new documentary Religulous mocks religious people and tries to convince people that "religion must die for mankind to live." Obviously, this isn't the worldview that God holds (though it would be more biblically accurate to say that false religion must die for mankind to live*--in other words, false religion will keep men in spiritual death).
I haven't yet found a review that I totally loved, but here are two that may be useful (in descending order of usefulness):
Plugged In
Christianity Today
* Please don't misconstrue this to mean that we must violently force Christianity on others. I do mean that we ought to lovingly and patiently urge Christ's claims on our friends, though.
