Our friends over at [Wheatstone Academy](http://www.wheatstoneacademy.com/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) have begun a new bi-monthly web-magazine that they are calling [The Examined Life](http://examinedlife.wheatstoneacademy.com/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com).

I’ve done work for Wheatstone in the past few months (speaking and designing curriculum) because I am convinced they are at the forefront of transforming Christian education at the high school level. If [you are looking for ministries to promote or support financially, they should be at the top of the list](http://wheatstoneacademy.com/donate?ref=mereorthodoxy.com).

I’ve got some idiosyncratic thoughts why we should care about cremation in the latest issue, which are a development of some themes I’ve been trying to work through around these parts. If you have feedback, let me know in the comments.

But there are other offerings worth your time, including [Brett McCracken’s take on ](http://examinedlife.wheatstoneacademy.com/2010/09/review-inception/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com)[*Inception*](http://examinedlife.wheatstoneacademy.com/2010/09/review-inception/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com)and [Eric Yang’s musings on grades and the purpose of education](http://examinedlife.wheatstoneacademy.com/2010/09/school-should-make-us-happier/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com). Bookmark the site, and [send a few dollars](http://wheatstoneacademy.com/donate?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) (or a link) their way as your thanks.
