Prayer: A reader made me aware of this organization that looks like a worthwhile time investment for any Christian woman.

Christmas: Still don’t know what to get that special someone for Christmas? I guarantee you can find something here. You know, like the world’s largest underpants.

Music: As I mentioned previously, John Schlitt and Bob Hartman of Petra fame have recorded a worship album. They also have a MySpace where you can hear clips of their songs.

Weird: The world’s tallest man finally got to render assistance that didn’t involve getting something from the tall shelf. No, he saved a pair of dolphins. What a hero!

Men in the Image of Women and Women in the Image of Men

God made men and God made women. God made men distinct from women and women distinct from men. God made men and women equal in worth and value while also making them distinct in some purpose and function. It’s all obvious stuff, this—obvious matters of differences between the sexes.
