There’s probably a name for this game, but I don’t know what it is. The rules are quite simple: guess which one(s) is not true. Our two oldest found out tonight that fifth grade graduation in (this part of) Texas is a big deal. A piece I submitted for publication was first read by the… Read More »
If you liked the last visual illusion I posted here (with the candles), you might like the winner of the Best Visual Illusion of the Year for 2010. This 3-minute video on the “Contemporvant Worship Service” has gone viral. If you haven’t seen it, and you ‘re my age or younger, you ‘ll probably like… Read More »
Here’s a good reminder from Thomas Brooks, via GraceGems: (Thomas Brooks, “A Word in Season to Suffering Saints,” 1675) “O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You, my body longs for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen You in… Read More »
Two days ago: Jose Rosales was a devout Christian. He sent every spare penny he made as a landscaper and handyman back to his family in Guatemala, and he was so strong and industrious that he did the work of three men. He had the complete trust of the Brar family who hired him. In… Read More »
I’m an advocate of visiting a cemetery once a year as a reminder of your mortality. If you haven’t made it yet, I recommend watching this four-minute video that Zac Smith made when he had cancer.
This is an amazing fire illusion (1 min). I’ve really enjoyed the latest CD by Sovereign Grace, Sons and Daughters. Someone took the song “The Prodigal” and animated it in a powerful way (3 min). It’s worth watching! Jesus never read the New Testament. Some good thoughts in this brief blog post. I don’t think… Read More »
It’s a common question, but I’m never quite sure how to answer it. When someone asks you, “Do you drink coffee?,” is their question more similar to: Do you like Coke? Or is it more akin to: Do you use heroin? The first question concerns taste: do you like how coffee tastes and therefore consume… Read More »
I’ve been upset with my students before, but this is taking things a bit too far. I don’t know much about the current mayor of Jerusalem, so I found this Q&A interesting. The commentary by the LA Times at the beginning is hilarious. (Who needs objectivity anyway?) Jonathan Moorhead has a great post on “How… Read More »
I could not care less about the Washington Nationals, but reading Charles Krauthammer is always enjoyable. Is it better to buy or rent a house? This slick NY Times calculator will help you to answer that question. This is crazy. A Croatian girl goes into a coma and when she wakes up she can’t speak… Read More »
From John Piper’s sermon on Sunday: Millions of nominal Christians have never experienced a fundamental alteration of that foundation of happiness. Instead they have absorbed the notion that becoming Christian means turning to Jesus get what you always wanted before you were born again. So, if you wanted wealth, you stop depending on yourself for… Read More »
